Lantern Festival



After Tet, the Lunar New Year, comes another important event, Lantern Festival that falls on the 15th of January of the lunar calendar. Again, worshippers flow to pagodas to make offerings to pray the best for their loved ones and family.

One of the meanings of this festival is that a king was crowned and went out to visit the public on that day.
