Ancestor worship is something that we had read about before moving to EA. We knew it was here. . . I mean, that is the reason we are here – to be a light in the darkness. It hit hard though, when we were putting the kids to bed and Colt saw this lady from his window. She was bowing and paying homage for at least an hour!

We tried to explain to him about ancestor worship.

Ancestor worship is a ritual practice (at the death and full moons) that is based on the belief that deceased family members have a continued existence and possess the ability to influence the fortune of the living. Living family members try to provide a deceased family member with continuous happiness and well-being in the afterlife by offering them food and gifts. It is a way of continuing to show respect toward them, and they believe that by keeping the deceased family member happy, the deceased may bring good fortune on them in return.
