On May 24, ahead of the 33rd Haman Nakwhanaeryo public event held at Mujinjeong in Haman County, Gyeongnam, visitors inscribed their wishes on wooden fire sticks that will be lit during the ceremony marking Buddha’s Birthday. The event showcases traditional Korean ritual fireworks where burning sticks are released to symbolize prayers and hopes (낙화놀이: a Korean ritual of lighting and releasing decorative fire sticks).
