People release sky lanterns ahead of the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival in Pingxi
People release sky lanterns ahead of the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival in Pingxi, New Taipei City February 27, 2015. 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 that is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar year in the Chinese calendar. The festival falls on March 5 this year. REUTERS/Pichi Chuang (TAIWAN - Tags: SOCIETY RELIGION) - GM1EB2R1OKM01

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a mesmerizing scene unfolds as people release sky lanterns ahead of the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival in Pingxi. The vibrant colors and ethereal glow of these lanterns create a breathtaking spectacle against the night sky. This ancient tradition holds deep spiritual significance for believers who gather to send their prayers for good luck and blessings soaring into the heavens. As each lantern takes flight, hopes and dreams are carried aloft, symbolizing a collective desire for prosperity and happiness. The origins of this enchanting custom can be traced back to the Ching Dynasty when villages were frequently raided by outlaws, forcing residents to seek refuge in the mountains. To ensure their safety, village watchmen used lanterns as signals to inform refugees that it was safe to return home. Today, the Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie continues to be celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in accordance with the Chinese calendar. This year's festival falls on March 5th, marking an occasion filled with joyous festivities and cultural traditions.
