The Festival of Lights (French: Fête des lumières) in Lyon, France, is a popular event that originally aimed at expressing gratitude toward Mary, mother of Jesus around December 8 of each year. This unique Lyonnaise tradition dictates that every house place candles along the outsides of all the windows to produce a spectacular effect throughout the streets. The festival includes other activities based on light and usually lasts four days, with the peak of activity occurring on the 8th. The two main focal points of activity are typically the Basilica of Fourvière which is lit up in different colours, as well as the Place des Terreaux, which hosts a different light show each year.

  • De fête des lumières(lichtfeest), ook wel Les Illuminations, is een populair evenement in de Franse stad Lyon dat jaarlijks rond 8 december plaatsvindt, de feestdag van de Onbevlekte Ontvangenis. Sinds de Middeleeuwen wordt in Lyon de maagd Maria vereerd die sinds 1643 de beschermheilige is van de stad, het jaar waarin Lyon werd getroffen door een grote pest. Hierop namen de schepenen (wethouders) van Lyon, de eerste magistraat en de notabelen zich voor elk jaar na het einde van de pest een eerbetoon aan de Maagd uit te brengen. (nl)
