Empire State Building Denies Lighting Building To Honor Mother Teresa

Empire State Building Snubs Mother Teresa.  WCBS2 TV New York.

It’s a familiar tradition: lighting up the Empire State Building in different colors to honor an important date or cause. So why would a request to pay tribute to one of the most loved and admired women in history be denied?

The building changes its colors to honor local sports teams, holidays, dog shows, cancer charities, and even the 60th anniversary of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner is not significant enough, however.  The Empire State Lighting Partners have no comment as to why they have denied the application placed by the Catholic League to honor the nun.  The blue and white colors of Mother Teresa have yet to adorn the Empire State Building.  The woman whose mission in life was to help the poor.

And peace be with you.
