CROATIA

Lights in the sky

In Croatia, the tradition of throwing lanterns into the sky during Christmas is one of the most charming and poetic celebrations in the country. This custom, especially popular in Zagreb, aims to send wishes and hopes to the universe. Every year, thousands of people gather in front of the National Library, where they light decorative lanterns that, when released, turn into small lights ascending towards the night sky. This spectacular sight creates a magical atmosphere, full of color and emotion, where families and friends share moments of joy and reflection.

Now it's your turn:

• Pick up a lantern.
• Make a wish.
• Hang it in the tunnel.
• The magic will make it light up.
