Feast of Hungry Ghosts



The Feast of Hungry Ghosts – when Hell opens and spirits wander the Earth – occurs the week after Feast of Maidens, which is is on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month.

In order to appease the ancestors’ souls and all the forgotten spirits,  people make small models in paper of objects, and burn it all with incense on the pavements of the streets or at the entrance door of their houses. They worship the gods to protect those beloved ones and for that prepare dishes of meat and fruits.
