fête des lumiêres lundi

Another layer of the fête des lumiêres, and the essential layer, is based on the Catholic community. We watched one of many processions from local paroisse's walk past our building, carrying candles and singing on their way up the long hill to the Chapel of Fourvière to celebrate messe.
The tradition includes leaving candles on each windowsill.
