Ching Ming Festival

Ching Ming is often referred to as Tomb Sweeping Day or Pure Brightness because of the holiday’s events. The primary role of the Ching Ming Festival is to pay respect and honor our Ancestors. It’s one of the most important traditional festivals in China. The purpose of this activity is to clean and beautify the graves or urns of our ancestors. We offer our ancestors their favorite food and wine. Burn paper money and clothes as a tribute.
