Auto technician and volunteer fire fighter George Cook, of Evansville, throws kindle onto the Spirit Fire on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016, during the Southern Illinois Pagan Alliances Samhain celebration at Crab Orchard Campground. Cook has been a member of the alliance for eight years and identifies as an eclectic Pagan. I love that Paganism is an earth-based religion that brings all sorts of people together, Cook said. Its just like when Christians came over here, Native Americans were classified as Pagans because they didnt believe in the Christian God, but they worshipped Mother Earth and Father Sky. They took care of their land and the land provided for them. Thats the path I follow. During the ceremony, participants used the Spirit Fire to banish internal aspects of their life they wished to let go of, Cook said. (Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms)

Holocaust survivor Marion Blumenthal Lazan greets Zion Henry, 7, of Carbondale, following her speech Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2016, at the First United Methodist Church in Carbondale. Lazan, who immigrated to the United States with her family in 1948, told the story of her journey as a Jewish child in Nazi controlled Germany and at Bergen-Belsen, a concentration camp in Germany where she and her family were imprisoned. I try to teach my kids strong messages like these, said Zions mother, Alexis Henry, who is a graduate student in behavioral analysis and therapy. Its important to me that they learn to continue to love, learn and live in spite of all of the bad things. (Ryan Michalesko | @photosbylesko)
