Qing Ming 2024
-
By Admin
This year, the Qing Ming Festival falls on April 4th, while March 15th is known as “Chun-She.” Some families have already started preparations for tomb-sweeping and ancestral worship. For families who have loved ones who departed within 1 year, we encourage families to visit between March 6th and 14th for tomb-sweeping.
Xiao En Memorial Park remains open throughout the year! Families are welcome to visit in advance and pay respects to their ancestors. Thoughtful worship planning ensures a serene remembrance. Reflecting on the memories of the departed, we realize that our connection transcends life and death, bound by the everlasting ties of blood and emotions.
Qing Ming Prayer Schedule
As Qing Ming approaches, we advise you to avoid peak prayer periods or visit your loved ones’ resting places 10 days before or after Qing Ming to avoid crowds.
The weather alternates between hot and rainy recently, so remember to bring an umbrella and hat when visiting! Make sure to wash your hands frequently and drink more water.
