We found this quite interesting! People place tea lights on their property during the full moon in November. It was almost like daytime in the neighborhood.
This was the preparation of the floating lanterns for launch. They are nothing more than a plastic bag with a wire frame at the opening with some sort of fire source in the middle. This symbolized the taking away of sins by the lantern.
When the air became hot enough in the bag it would take off.
This is one that had been launched down the street from our house.
I hope you can view the movie of the take off of one of the bags. The kids were having a great time with the parents in the street. There were literally hundreds of bags floating in the air during about 3 different nights. The real shame is that their sins still remain on the ground with them! There is only one way to have those taken away and that is what we want to tell them!
