Since 2014, Nederweert has participated in the national activity Lights on War Graves. Since 2021, this has been organized by the Adoption Graves Nederweert War Cemetary Foundation, in collaboration with the municipality of Nederweert.

Lights on War Graves takes place every year on December 24 on Christmas Eve. The adopters are welcome from 5 p.m. to light a candle at his or her adoption grave.

The candles are placed in advance by volunteers of the foundation.

The other candles (if still necessary) will be lit at 19:00 at the latest and will continue to burn during Christmas Eve. The goal is and remains that we light a candle together at every grave on Christmas Eve.

Participants are requested to leave the cemetery at the rear. Please bring your own lighter and follow the instructions of the organization on site and keep a sufficient distance.

Happy holidays.
