Luminaria

RFL FY10 BP - LuminariaOne important aspect of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the opportunity for people to come together to remember loved ones lost to cancer and honor those who have won their battle. One of the most moving parts of the event is the Luminaria Ceremony.

As the sun sets over campsites and darkness falls, the night is brightened by the glow of illuminated bags called luminaria, each bearing the name of someone who has battled cancer. Some celebrate cancer survivors, while others help us honor and remember those gone too soon. All represent someone special who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to fight back in their honor.

Would you like to honor or remember someone with a luminaria during the Relay For Life Luminaria Ceremony?

You can credit your luminaria donation to a certain team or participant by searching for their name, or credit it to the event!

  Every Candle Has a Name

(Lyrics by Jack Storey, Music by Jack Storey and Tom Willner).

We're like sailors in the night
Being guided by a light
Just a beacon on the shore
Giving hope and strength and more

Walking through this sea of lights
I sense unity and might
Oh the power of passion in this place
Every memory has a face

There's a name of the ones who still are here
There's a name of those gone we still hold dear
There's a name each one shining in the flames
and we know that Every Candle Has a Name

These are loved ones we have known
Some still here but some are gone
In this time in our own way
As the footsteps melt away

We see love in every flame
Like a never ending chain
and we know that Every Candle Has A Name

Of the ones who still are here
There's a name of those gone we still hold dear
There's a name each one shining in the flames
and we know that Every Candle Has a Name
and we know that Every Candle Has a Name

The story behind Every Candle Has a Name - May download song from this site.
