Some time ago, when I was a child, my grandmother told me about a festival that was famous in my town. It was called “Festival of light” which took place every year to celebrate the victory of good over evil. This festival lasted for five days and was ceremony at the end of October or in the first week of November.
Preparations began weeks before the event. People cleaned their homes and painted wonderful drawings on the walls and floors. They wore beautiful clothes and women made delicious sweets which were better than any others she has ever tasted.
During the event, every home was decorated, inside and outside, with marvellous clay lamps and colourful candles. After dark, the whole neighbourhood shined with a lot of lights. Excited children set off firecrackers.
“The Festival of Light” was a deeply moving festival. My grandmother was very grateful she had the chance to share in this celebration of peace and harmony. She will never forget how friendly and generous the people were.

Nice! There's also a Festival called "Aset Luminous". It was an Egyptian one. They used to make little bote with candles, and put them in the river. It was dedicated to Isis, the goddess.
