Often used to protect the flame from the wind during the well-known ‘Rite of Light,’ the lantern is actually a symbol rich with meanings that cross centuries and cultures. From a simple protective object, it can become the true heart of a ceremony — a protagonist capable of adapting to any kind of celebration: from a Welcome-to-the-World ceremony to a wedding, a vow renewal, or even a memorial or funeral.
A new birth or the arrival of a new member of the family has always been an occasion to celebrate. Naming ceremonies traditionally mark the moment when a child is given their chosen name in addition to the family surname.
