Word of the Day - Luminary

[Bretrick]

Someone that is an inspiration to others; one who has achieved success in his chosen field; a leading light.

I would have loved to have had lunch with the luminary Oscar Wilde.

Can also be a type of candle, traditionally in a paper bag

Great word. And good definition and examples, too.


I also love that picture, @CinnamonSugar

I find that it's an appealing concept.

My father and maternal grandfather were the luminaries in my life. Pushing me to aspire to be a better mother towards my children when I got married and also to be a better person.

They've left me way too early in life but the life's lessons they gave me have been extremely valuable, and I'm happy of how I turned out in life thanks to the both of them.

Wish I could find a church where I could go light candles to them. I've been depressed far too long. Sorry!
