At the beginning of December, if you have the opportunity to go anywhere near Lyon, France, you must not miss the annual Lantern Festival in Lyon. This local traditional celebration originated more than 150 years ago. It was only a small folk celebration, but now it has become a grand celebration of a national carnival. Its lively scenes and beautiful lights are definitely not to be missed.
Every year from December 8th, this city in eastern France ushers in a four-day festival of lights. This is not only a celebration, but also a feast of sight and hearing. It attracts artists, urban planners, lighting experts and event organizers from all over the world. This year's Lantern Festival design works have been released in advance, so that we can sneak a sneak peek .
The inner courtyard of the Lyon City Hall is full of entangled laser nets, and the mountains are covered with colorful lights to form 50 huge luminous flowers. The exterior walls of Saint Nizier are decorated with light projections and soundtracks. The landmark building of the city of Lyon, the La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvire, was also draped in a gorgeous coat of colored lights, and the colored lights flashed rhythmically with the bells of the church.
Lyon's festival of lights originated from Lyon's rich historical roots, and the lights of the lights were meant to thank the Virgin Mary. In 1643, the entire region of Lyon was shrouded in the white horror of the plague, and the municipal councillors promised to tribute to the Virgin Mary if they could escape the catastrophe. Later, the city of Lyon was really protected from the plague. Since then, every household on December 8th will light candles outside the window, and the solemn tour team will march to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Forville, light the candle and send it to the Virgin Mary. Lia went to tribute. Now, the candle has been replaced by a light, becoming a real festival of lights.
In addition to the meaning of gratitude, tribute and celebration, Lyon's Festival of Lights has now become an art festival, attracting more than 3.5 million visitors each year. This year, local design students will assist more than 500 artists from all over the world to perform various lighting decorations, audio-visual equipment arrangements, and participate in street theatre performances.
