The Glowing Tree Festival
As the year comes to an end, the leaves of trees fall, leaving a skeleton behind. Inspired by stories of their elder, but with new interpretations, the Trikru have taken to putting lanterns on the naked trees. Each lantern stands for a dead loved one or the collective lost loved ones of a family. White lanterns stand for those, who should have found peace by now, the ones that are held dear in loving memory. Red lanterns are set up for the recently lost, for those who the Trikru mean to put to rest, by celebrating the death of a year and welcoming new life. In the next year those lanterns will be white as well.
