Lantern Festival in Taiwan
People release sky lanterns to celebrate the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival in Shifen, Taipei County, February 28, 2010. Believers gathered to release sky lanterns as a form of prayer for good luck and blessings. The tradition of releasing lanterns began during the Ching Dynasty when bands of outlaws frequently raided villages, forcing local residents to seek refuge in the mountains. The lanterns were signals used by the village watchmen to inform the refugees that their houses were safe again. The Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar year in the Chinese calendar. REUTERS/Nicky Loh (TAIWAN - Tags: SOCIETY)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Lantern Festival in Taiwan, where people gather to celebrate the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival in Shifen, Taipei County. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene as believers release sky lanterns into the night sky, offering prayers for good luck and blessings. The origins of this beautiful tradition can be traced back to the Ching Dynasty when villages were frequently raided by outlaws. In times of danger, local residents sought refuge in the mountains.

Over time, this practice evolved into a cherished festival known as Yuan Xiao Jie or the Lantern Festival. The photograph perfectly encapsulates both the cultural significance and visual splendor of this event. Against a dark backdrop, vibrant lanterns illuminate the sky like floating stars, creating an ethereal atmosphere filled with hope and joy. Each flickering light represents not only prayers but also unity among communities coming together to celebrate their heritage.
