Lantern Release
A Lantern Release is a ceremonial event where participants release floating lanterns into the sky or on water. These lanterns are often made of paper and are filled with hot air, allowing them to rise. The event is commonly associated with celebrations, festivals, or memorials, symbolizing hope, dreams, or the release of burdens.
During a Lantern Release, individuals may write messages or wishes on the lanterns before launching them. This practice is popular in various cultures, including the Yi Peng Festival in Thailand and the Sky Lantern Festival in Taiwan. The sight of numerous glowing lanterns creates a beautiful and serene atmosphere.
