Thanksgiving Square, Public space in Lanyon Place, Belfast, Northern Ireland
Thanksgiving Square contains a central garden area surrounding the Beacon of Hope, a stainless steel sculpture reaching 20 meters into the sky.
The development of Thanksgiving Square began after Belfast native Myrtle Smyth visited a similar square in Dallas and initiated the project in Northern Ireland.
The square functions as a meeting point where people from different religions and backgrounds gather to express gratitude through music, drama, and poetry.
The illuminated steel structure serves as a navigation point throughout Belfast, with its reflection visible in the waters of River Logan.
This one-third acre space incorporates a meditation area, meeting facilities, and a Thanksgiving Ring, drawing inspiration from its Texas counterpart.
