Summary:
People all over the world come together and use light to celebrate important cultural events. Whether it's setting off fireworks in celebration of a historic day, or lighting a lantern in remembrance of a loved one that has passed away, every culture has its own unique set of customs. This book shines a light on familiar and unusual festivals that are celebrated each month of the year. Take a journey around the world and discover why in China lucky red lanterns are lit and hung everywhere during Chinese New Year; why in Iran people build bonfires to jump over during Nowruz; or why in Scotland thousands of lit torches are thrown into a wooden Viking ship during Up Helly Aa.
