December 19 was 3rd years aniversary since my dadd had passed away. I can’t believe that my dad does not exist in this world. I still remember his voice, his face and his silly humor…
In Korean family, a special ceremony for the ancestors has been undergoing in the House of Confucian tradition family.
I think Korea is the only country where the Confucian ceremony has been served until now which has been originated from several thousand ago
Buddhist family also has performed this ceremony in Korea.
In some case, Buddhist family is inclined to serve this ceremony more and bigger.
In Catholic family, also this kinds of ceremony is undergoing under the circumstance of any spiritual signal removed.
In Protestant family, this ceremony had been banned from it’s beginning.
My mom is Catholic. This ceremony is very important to her, because she had grown up in Confucian family. Even though she believe in God, the ceremony for ancestors is the most important thing to her.
She is still believing through this ceremony, our ancestors are taking care of us in the Heaven.
She prepared foods by herself for the ceremony.
Photos could show you better than my poor English
The table setting for the ceremony
There is a provided procedure for the ceremony
The ceremony is a kinds of the invitation for the ancestors
With Rice wine and Bow, we need to show our respect to the ancestors.
Last procedure is burning the paper for the invitation of my father.
Burning that paper is as same as saying a good bye to my father's soul.
For long time ago, they really believed in that this paper would invite the soul of family ancestors.
Thank you
Oh. Cool photo. Thanks for your sharing.

저는 아버지 기일이면 선산을 찾아갑니다.
거울을 보면 내나이 때의 아버지를 보는 느낌입니다.

Reading your post I think it's really a touching ceremony. From to cook food to the burned paper to say goodby, it's all very touching. I think to know the tradition on how to "remember" our ancestors is one of the most interesting thing in every culture and It's touching for me to see how much love you show for your ancestor.

Because you took the time to remember and reflect, you did invite the souls of your family back. That is what it takes. If we just go on down every road and through every door opened to us without taking time for pause we lose the soul of what family and other humans all hold dear in the best and worst of times.

This is a traditional ceremony of Korea as well as some parts of East Asia where they follows Confucianism to show respect to the ancestor and family. Thanks for sharing the interesting East Asian culture to the foreigners :) This is somewhat they are really interested in. I also share some Korean traditional cultures to foreigners when I am with them. When they hear it, sometimes they reveal that they can't believe what I just said. Since the globe is big, and we all have different culutral value from time to time, and place to place, I hope Steemit becomes a platform where we can communicate and share about our lives and culture :)
I hope you are doing well all of the time !
