Grab a couple of lanterns or candles! There is a celebration happening across the United States for the upcoming 250 year anniversary of Paul Revere's horse ride after he received a signal from the church. One light from the steeple meant the British were coming by land, and two lights meant they were coming by sea. So, Paul Revere hopped on a horse to warn the colonists, thus launching the American Revolution.
Now, all of us can celebrate the common good of working together for unification. How? Just set out two lights of your choice at night. While the anniversary date is April 18th, some states like Virginia are including other historical events, so we'll be lit from April 11-April 22! You can find more information by clicking this link or at any other participating state's website.
