The sacred night is dark and peaceful, offering a chance of restoration and sleep. It is seductive and thrilling, with the possibility of escape, excitement and joy in the air. It is also a time for worship and vigil, to protect the ones we love, to offer safety and light the way home. It is a time for sanctuary.
