After finishing on my money origami last week. Came the day of my grandmother's death anniversary. On this day, we offered her favourite dishes at the alter, bought paper jewellery,clothes,her favourite game set-mahjong, handbags and some cosmetics.
After prayers, we carried on to burn all those offerings to her.

Lots of food! Do you invite lots of people around or only those close friends? In the Philippines, we usually invite friends to have dinner with us..Reminds me that next month is my Grandpa's death anniversary..:(

Looks like a fun weekend,Elaine!

Happy Teacher's Day!

That's a very interesting tradition. I think it's remarkable how you honor people you love who have already passed away.
