A once in a lifetime event. The Chinese Lantern Festival came
to Tampa, Florida in 2015, and we had the chance to see it.
Spectacular barely covers it.!!!
Journaling 2: The Chinese Lantern Festival is believed to date back 2000 years ago to the Eastern Han Dynasty when Buddhist monks would light lanterns in the temples. Traditionally, the Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival. The lanterns are thought to symbolize people letting go of their pasts and celebrating a new future.
