lantern release
Floating light tradition
A lantern release is a ceremony where paper lanterns with small flames inside are set free to float skyward, typically at festivals, memorials, or celebrations.
The rising lanterns create a dramatic visual display against the night sky.
Popular in East Asian traditions and increasingly at Western events, lantern releases often mark moments of remembrance or hope: The wedding ended with a lantern release on the beach.
