For over 15 years, Utrechtsestraat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has been known for its beautiful illuminations. This year the symbol of the angel was chosen because it fits perfectly with the unique atmosphere of this street. Angels also symbolise protection, peace and light and are recognised in many cultures and traditions. This makes it a universal and inclusive symbol, an echo of the multiculturalism of the city of Amsterdam.
