A lantern is a container that holds a candle or other type of light. It may also have a handle for carrying it from place to place or hanging it up somewhere. A lantern often has clear glass or open sides so that the light can shine out. Some lanterns are made with thin paper that lets some of the light go through.
We always bring a lantern when we go on camping trips. We need it to see at night.In the summer, my mom puts up pretty paper lanterns all around our backyard. She hangs them from the trees.
