New Years Ritual.

As is here in this Buddha country, the monks have their ceremonies.  I have no idea exactly what this was but it was so beautiful and moving.
Prior to this procession of holding the candles, theses monks were in the temple chanting and lighting the candles and the going to this garden.  They left the candle on a little hill and then the next monks came too  and the procession was continues as the hillside became illuminated.  
This was the audience in the garden.  The crossed strings had hanging strings, amusingly to hold and offer a wish and then hang a banner.

You can see the hillside in the background with the candles that were left by the monks.

So beautiful and what away to bring in the NEW YEAR.
