A candlelight healing ceremony will be held at the base of the Angel monument each year in December. After a few remarks, a moment of silence, the attendees are invited to leave a white flower at the base of the angel statue. The public is welcome.
There were over one hundred people that braved the heavy rain and snow on December 5th, 2009. The candlelight ceremony was held in the Veterans Memorial building next to the Angel of Hope. After the ceremony people walked to the Angel of Hope Statue to leave white carnations.
