Luminous Festival – 2022
Thursday 9th June to Sunday 3rd July 2022
The Luminous Festival is a mid-winter festival hosted by Hobart Baptist Church
Luminous means “emitting or reflecting usually steady, suffused, or glowing light” and aims bring light into the darkness of our cultural moment.
In the fourth century, Christians began celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25 in a reworking of the pagan Roman winter solstice celebrations. The cold, dark, bleak reality, of winter was an ideal time to celebrate the warmth and light of Christ coming into the world as a signpost of hope and redemption. Winter in Hobart lends itself to do the same.
Luminous: emitting, or reflecting, a steady, suffused, or glowing light
