Lantern Festival = Obon

I didn't know that Lantern Festival is also "Obon Festival."
When I put the ward 'lantern' on an online English-Japanese/Japanese-English dictionary, the dictionary showed "lantern festival - Obon" on the three lines from the direction word. And when I put the word 'obon (in Japanese)' on the same dictionary, it showed like this, " Buddhist festival period called bon // lantern festival // Obon festival" on the top line.
Wow, this is interesting. I may research more about this festival after the final.
