Nov. 17th

Western Lights

 

This is the third, and last, of the festivals of the dead in China. Clothing, money, and other gifts are burned in honor of the ancestors and loved ones. Candles, special foods, and rice wine are placed before personal shrines to fortify them during their journey through the spirit world.
