No matter the religion, no matter the belief, light is a universal symbol for good: people all over the world celebrate using light each winter season in joyous festivities. Christianity As the holidays draw near and the winter season begins to creep upon us, light becomes a more and more valuable commodity to our everyday [...]
There once was play, a play so incredibly happy that it rejoiced in its own name—I think that this would be a most suitable beginning to the CHS freshmen/sophomore play ‘Haroun and the Sea of Stories’.
