Last year I asked the following question on Next Door. This is the answer I received.
Question: Anybody know how long we have been doing this? I think it has been something like 40 years.
Answer: Bev Smith from Down East · 22 Jan
...luminaries started in Downeast in 1975 when Jerry Shea was president. He brought the idea from his home in Cleveland. And when you drove to the top of a General a Warren Village those were the only lights you could see :)
For those of you new to DECA. We light Luminaries ( paper bag, sand and a candle ) each year on the curb of our properties when the sun goes down on 12/24.
We could use and hour or two of help from some volunteers of all ages to help. We will take care of ordering the materials.
Email or call me to lend a hand :-)
