Light: Sky Lanterns

Sky Lanterns known traditionally as Khoom Fay in China were initially used as a military signals in the 3rd Century and strategically launched during war.

They were later adopted and launched alongside fireworks at festivals by local folk, carrying away their troubles as the lantern rose higher bringing prosperity and good luck to the future. Lanterns were also given to Monks in order to receive wisdom, as the flame of the Lantern would guide them to knowledge and the right path.

Today in China these lanterns are still released in the hundreds of thousands at Chinese New Year in hopes of good luck for the coming year.

So why not release your worries in exchange for prosperity and good luck or simply add that extra sparkle to any occasion or party?
