Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point




For a family outing tonight we decided to visit the Luminaria lights at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi Utah. Tickets were $17 for adults which is a bit more than the free light display at Temple Sqaure, but will all agreed that it was well worth the visit. For nearly 90 minutes we walked the 1 mile path through some impressive lights and wonderful sculptures all set to beautiful music. Along the way there were places to get warm by a fire and to buy hot chocolate and treats, but we were good just walking and enjoying. All of the missionaries from the Utah Orem Mission were also enjoying the show.
 







5,000 Luminarias blanket the hill slope in a beautiful mosaic of colors that flash and dance to the music. Mesmerizing to watch.



The Light of the World Garden with its 35 life sized sculptures depicting events from the life of Christ was lit with hundreds of lanterns. Here Jesus is seen walking on water.

Reaching to touch the hem of His garment.


 Oh My Father. Matthew 14:23. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.



Gathering chicks.


He who is without sin let him cast the first stone.


Lazarus come forth!




Resurrected Christ appearing to Mary.
