45,000 lights shining in the darkness

One of the most powerful moments of Passion 2012 came just before midnight when January 4 turned into January 5. On January 4, there was darkness. On January 5, there was light as 45,000 students silently lit their candles as witness to the silence of 27 million people held in slavery today around the world. As the light spread, the silence was broken and praise rang out.

Lots of metaphor in there, eh?

Thankfully, a creative soul among those 45,000 captured the moment in this short video.
