DailyCelestialChallenge- Sunday:light_ The lighting of the city.
The illumination of the city says a lot about its rulers and the dynamics of its people. Since these do not work in the same way during the day and night.
John 8:12
Jesus spoke to them again, saying: I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
The lighting beautifies the city and makes it more attractive for visitors and visitors, providing greater security if they wish to carry out an activity at night, in the same way that it highlights their structures and emblematic sites.
When the night begins to fall, people who have finished their workday are already anxious to return home and what most anguishes them is to meet on their way, with dark streets that do not inspire safety, so the lighting in the city It provides more confidence to get to your home with your family.
Psalm 43: 3
Send your light and your truth; May they guide me, may they take me to your holy mountain, and to your dwellings.
This is because unscrupulous criminals and bandits hope that the streets of the cities are not lit to stalk the people of good, committing, robberies, outrages and even murders, added to this they could suffer some personal accident when stumbling, falling into some culvert, danger when crossing some way to name a few.
The illumination of the streets and public parks, illuminated become lower rates of crime and vandalism, making cities safe and habitable spaces for its inhabitants and tourists who visit us.
The origin of public lighting in the streets and squares comes from far away and many civilizations that for many centuries placed some kind of torch to facilitate pedestrians to be able to travel in the darkest nights without stumbling or having any mishap. That street lighting was placed by the citizens themselves, who put them in a window or door of their own houses.
According to the record, it was on September 2, 1667, under the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, when the first street lighting was opened in Paris, which was managed by the local authorities and did not depend on the neighbors themselves, as there were a municipal service that was responsible for lighting them at dusk and turn them off at dawn.
This system was a network of lights that traversed the main roads of the French capital and completely changed the aesthetics of the city at night when it was fully illuminated. It was from then on that Paris began to be called 'the city of light'.
Five of the most enlightened cities in the world.
