Cupids Decorate Hang Kids Lanterns
EDITORS COMMENTS
Kids & Lanterns - A Timeless Tradition of Celebrating the Arrival of Christmas This enchanting image captures the essence of a cherished custom from the early 20th century, as Cupids hang paper lanterns to decorate the night sky. Dating back to circa 1905, this charming card represents the joy and excitement that comes with the holiday season. The scene unfolds in a quaint, idyllic setting where children, dressed in their finest winter attire, gather around to help their winged companions suspend the lanterns from trees and rooftops. The soft glow of the lanterns illuminates their faces, casting a warm, magical aura over the scene. The tradition of hanging lanterns during Christmas time originated in various cultures, including China and Europe. In China, the lanterns symbolized the arrival of the New Year and the triumph of light over darkness. In Europe, they were used to represent the Star of Bethlehem, guiding the Three Wise Men to the birthplace of Jesus. This card serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse customs that have shaped the holiday season throughout the centuries. It invites us to embrace the spirit of unity, joy, and wonder that transcends time and brings people together in celebration of the most wonderful time of the year.
