<holidayfyi-glossary slug="lantern"></holidayfyi-glossary>A portable light source held in a case, serving as a pervasive holiday symbol across many cultures. Paper lanterns are released into the sky during the Thai Loi Krathong, Taiwanese Sky Lantern Festival, and Chinese Lantern Festival. In Jewish tradition, menorahs placed in windows serve a similar purpose. Lanterns symbolize guidance, hope, and the triumph of light over darkness.
