The Worldwide Candle Lighting®
In loving memory of all children who are no longer with us, The
Compassionate Friends extends an invitation for you, your family,
and friends to join tens of thousands of persons around the globe
for the eighth annual Worldwide Candle Lighting.
The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting is held every
year on the second Sunday in December at 7 p.m. local time for one
hour in each time zone around the globe—a 24-hour remembrance of all
children who have died.
We do this . . . that their light may always shine!
