Qingming festival

The Sweeping of the Tombs begins today in China. It much like All Saints Day in the Christian Faith. My better half will go to Baise with her Mother for 3 days.

I visited my grandma's grave yesterday at a Chinese Cemetery in MA. So many people were paying respect to their deceased relatives. They brought roast pig, rice, and other food items to the site. Paper money and incense were burned. Very smokey. Another Chinese Cemetery banned burning of fake money and incense after a big fire many years ago.
