Sembahyang Kubur (Chinese Grave Prayer Ritual)
As you know, Chinese have great respect for our ancestors, so there’s a tradition where we go to ancestors’ graves and pray for them. It’s twice a year, in the 3rd and 7th month in lunar calendar. You will smell the scent of incense over there, as it’s one of the tools they use to pray.
Some people also pray for wealth, health and luckiness. They also prepare some real food in front of the grave, with the faith it will be eaten by the spirits. All the food later will be brought back home to be eaten by the whole family.
