La Luz del Mundo, Christian denomination in Guadalajara, Mexico
Description
La Luz del Mundo is a Christian denomination based in Guadalajara, Mexico, operating across more than 60 countries with thousands of congregations. The central temple in Guadalajara serves as the organization's main hub and location for major religious gatherings.
History
The movement was founded in 1926 by Aarón Joaquín González during a period of religious conflict in Mexico. It has grown continuously since then under leadership from the founder's family line.
Culture
Female members wear long skirts and head coverings during services, and the community worships without musical instruments or religious symbols on the walls. These practices shape daily life for followers and set them apart from other Christian communities.
Practical
The annual primary religious service, the Holy Supper, takes place each August at the central temple and draws believers from around the world. The location is accessible year-round, though major gatherings occur at specific times.
Did you know?
Leadership of the organization has passed only within the founder's family from one generation to the next since its creation. This continuity in direction has shaped the organization across decades and remains an important characteristic for many followers.
