During this annual Christian festival, children sing and collect sweets while carrying lanterns, symbolising the approaching end of winter.

To ensure that everyone remains safe and sound, both children and adults are reminded to remain on the pavements and cross roads only at well-lit areas, especially at designated pedestrian crossings, to ensure visibility to motorists.

Wearing reflective waistcoats is strongly recommended, along with opting for light-coloured clothing. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and reduce speed, particularly in the outskirts of towns and villages.
