Annual Candlelight Tour
SHADOWS OF THE PAST
Welcome to a candlelight walking tour designed to allow participants to step back in time and see images of our past. As we meander around the public square, we will whisper of murder. The side streets, in hushed tones, will give up their secrets of mystery and magic. But it is in the still of darkness that we will witness the veil between this world and the next as it wears thin and hear those from beyond tell their stories. Our tour will end as one man hangs in the balance between the pleasures of this life and the shame of an unconsecrated grave.
