Qingming

The meaning of Qingming is clear and bright.
It is the day for mourning the dead.
In this year, it falls on 4 April.
Qingming Festival is an opportunity for us to remember
and honour our ancestors at grave sites.

Every year, incense sticks and paper offerings like
paper clothes, paper shoes, paper money, and
any other paper accessories such as hand phone, jewelrey,
depends how serious our family is with this thing
All paper offerings will be burnt for
they believe that the relatives can receive the goods
and even 'money' this way.
Food like roasted suckling pig, steamed chicken,
fruit and wine are offered during the ceremony.
