On December 12, 2010, New Blossoms New Life Foundation and the Angels Too Soon support group will be hosting their second annual candlelight vigil in conjunction with The Compassionate Friends’ Worldwide Candle Lighting. This event honors the memory of children who have passed away, regardless of their age. The Worldwide Candle Lighting is a day where candles will be lit around the world at 7 p.m. local time, so “that their light may always shine.” The local event will be held at Perry Square in downtown Erie beginning at 6 p.m. with a time of sharing. During this time, a slideshow of submitted photos of the children will play with accompanying music. The ceremony will start with a non-denominational blessing at 6:50, with the candle lighting starting at 7. Light snacks and beverages will be served after.
