Lotus Lantern Festival

On May 7, 2016 I attended the Lotus Lantern Festival. On this day, there was a parade with different lanterns and floats made to honor the birth of Buddha. I wish I knew more about the meaning behind each lantern, but unfortunately I haven’t learned much about them yet. If you want to attend or get a summary of this particular festival, you can find out more here . In the meantime, here are some photos and videos I took from the festival:IMG_3266IMG_3267IMG_3268IMG_3269IMG_3270IMG_3272IMG_3276IMG_3277IMG_3278IMG_3279IMG_3280IMG_3282IMG_3284IMG_3286IMG_3288IMG_3289IMG_3290IMG_3291IMG_3292IMG_3295IMG_3296IMG_3297IMG_3299IMG_3300IMG_3302IMG_3303IMG_3304IMG_3305IMG_3306IMG_3307IMG_3308IMG_3309IMG_3311IMG_3313IMG_3314IMG_3315
