The solemn and respectful Cuong Temple Festival 2015

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of April 3rd, at Cuong Temple (located in Dien An commune, Dien Chau district), the People's Committee of Dien Chau district solemnly organized the Grand Ceremony of the Cuong Temple Festival 2015.

The program for the sacrificial ceremony, including the offering of food and incense, was meticulously prepared. The procession formations were tightly organized and solemn, with complete costumes and props in both content and form, adhering to the proper rituals of the ceremony.

This year, all six rituals (the consecration ceremony, the ceremony of announcing to the heavens, the offering ceremony, the grand sacrifice ceremony, the procession of the King, and the thanksgiving ceremony) were performed. The rituals were conducted fully in both content and form.

Thanks to thorough preparation, especially the close coordination and high efforts of the Dien An Commune People's Committee and the armed forces of the district in maintaining security and order, the festival took place safely, healthily, civilly, joyfully, and economically.

Here are some photos taken by our reporter of the ceremony:
