Chinese Lantern Festival
Egreeting Cards
Some egreeting cards in celebration to the Chinese Lantern Festival. Since more than one decade it is one of Auckland's yearly events taking place in Albert Park.
Three days highlighted with a yearly changing lantern display, traditional and modern Asian singers and artists, and a huge variety on mouth watering specialities of Asian cuisine.The celebration welcomes the first full moon that rises fifteen days after the Chinese New Year. This tradition goes way back beyond the 6th century with plentiful stories told about its origin. What they have in common is celebrating light, life, and the strength of unity.
Bringing communities closer in traditions and celebration is the fuel behind the initiative of the Asia New Zealand Foundation and the Auckland city council. These are the organizing parties behind the event in Auckland and the subsequent week in Christchurch.
Plenty of motifs present themselves for observant cameras on the go during the Auckland Chinese lantern festival. Sometimes the outcome becomes quite interesting.
Enjoy!
If you like them use them to send a vacation greeting.
