April 25~17, 2014 (Fri~Sun, 2558 Buddhist Era)

코자자

The Yeon Deung Hoe is a traditional Korean folk festival that began in the Goryeo Period (918 – 1392) as the Lotus Lantern Assembly (Yeondeunghoe) and continued in the Joseon Dynasty (1392 – 1910) as the Lantern Celebration (Kwandeung-nori).

By doing this, the evil and flawed parts of one’s soul are stripped away leaving only a clean slate to start anew.
