The Lotus Lantern Festival











I arrived in Korea on Saturday night (April 25th), just in time for the beginning of the Lotus Lantern Festival in Seoul. The festival celebrates the Buddha's birthday, and is a huge event centered around Jogyesa temple. Shelby and I walked around the festival on Sunday, joining in the parade Sunday night and the concert/group dancing that followed.
