Religious-message kites
(Notes from all are welcome: wiki)

For celebration, praying, honoring, remembering, meditation, petitioning, thanksgiving, teaching, uniting, etc, people are found here and there making and flying kites that fly religious messages by way of shape, art, text, motion, ..., or at special feast days or historical places. Venue, style, mode, purpose: quiet praying in solitary flying or large public-gathering festivals. Special causes, expressions of joy, hope, inspiration, sorrow, invitation, , ...      Subtle or overt.
