Great ceremony in the death anniversary of the Holy Mother
A large number of people attended the death anniversary of the Holy Mother.
In Vinh City, there are many historical and cultural relics, including many relics worshiping the Holy Mother. However, due to time and many historical ups and downs, the relics worshiping the Holy Mother were severely damaged. With deep affection and strong faith, the people of the city moved all the statues of the Mother Temple to Hong Son Temple to unite the worship. For many years, Hong Son Temple has become a gathering place for people and tourists from all over to come and sincerely burn incense and pray to worship the Holy Mother Lieu Hanh.
The death anniversary of Holy Mother Lieu Hanh on the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month every year is a special cultural and spiritual activity of the city's people towards the origin of the nation, towards the Mother - the "Mother of all people" to pray for national peace and prosperity, for every family to be warm, prosperous and happy. This is also a meaningful activity in preserving and promoting traditional cultural values, aiming to build an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity.
This year's death anniversary of Holy Mother Lieu Hanh was solemnly held with traditional rituals: memorial service, great sacrifice ceremony, and incense offering ceremony.
