Loi Krathong is an annual festival celebrated throughout parts of Thailand, Laos, and other Southeast Asian countries on the full moon of the 12th lunar month, usually in November. During the festival, people construct krathong, or decorated floats made of natural materials like banana leaves and flowers, which are launched into waterways to honor the water goddess and symbolize the floating away of bad luck. The exact origins of the tradition are unclear but involve paying respect to gods and spirits and asking for good fortune.Loy krathong history

The document discusses traditions of lantern festivals in Thailand, China, and the United States. It describes how the Thai Loi Krathong festival originated as a religious ceremony to thank Buddha and cleanse sins, but now includes beauty pageants and decorating boats with candles and flowers. The Chinese lantern festival celebrates spring and family, with lanterns in shapes and colors, riddles, lion dances, and dumplings. While the Asian festivals had religious origins, the growing lantern festivals in the US focus more on social gathering. All three cultures now approach lantern traditions differently while celebrating the symbol of floating lanterns.Songkran: Tradition, Culture & Celebration

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:1-3 Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother. Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee? Ecclesiasticus 7:27-28Joshua Through the Lens of Jesus: Part 1 - Ch.1-3
