Have you heard of the water lantern festival? On Friday, it was held in Russia - lanterns are released into the water at sundown, and families and friends come together. /VCG Photo

Everyone in the family can create their own lantern, on which, they can write down their hopes and dreams. /VCG Photo

People then cast their lanterns out into the river, watching as they dance across the water. /VCG Photo
