RE: Yellow Flowers' Day: Exploring Full Moon Offerings Tradition in Hue, Vietnam

I absolutely love the pictures🙂 They came out vibrant and colourful. It's cool to have a tradition like, although, for some reason, it strikes me as what Spanish people would do too.

I never knew the Vietnamese engage in wholesome traditions like this.

What happens to the fruit though?

Hey, thank you! 😊 The owners of the table eat fruits after the ceremony is ended. Like some Vietnamese told on Reddit (I quoted above):

My mom always said that the ancestors eat the spiritual part and bless the food in the process

wholesome

Sure. I like that people create some beauty (the altar) once or twice a month (full moon and sometimes new moon). That means they think about composition, colors... A sort of art workout twice a month.
