This weekend will be the 22nd “Luz de las Naciones,” a celebration of Latin American culture hosted by the Church.

All tickets have already been reserved, but people can join a standby line outside the Conference Concert two hours before the show. Or, the event will be broadcast live in Spanish on Saturday, November 9 at 8 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Find the live broadcast on the Luz de las Naciones website. You can also watch the event later on the Luz de las Naciones website, broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org, Stream app and YouTube.
The Theme of the Show
The theme for the show is “Un corazón agradecido” or “A Thankful Heart.” The inspiration for theme comes from President Russell M. Nelson’s November 2020 invitation to embrace the “healing power of gratitude.”
Aljandro “Alex” Melecio is a Mexico native and has participated in “Luz de las Naciones” since 2007. Church News reports that Melecio often listens to President Nelson’s message on gratitude.
“Any part that I can play in conveying that message, helping people focus on what’s going right, on the blessings that we do have, it’s a real antidote. So that’s my hope, that through our words, through our songs, through our preparation, we are able to convey that and people can walk away feeling a little more grateful,” Melecio tells Church News.
