Tomb Fest

Tomb Fest, also known as Qingming Festival or Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a cherished tradition that blends Chinese cultural heritage and spiritual reverence. Families gather at cemeteries to clean their ancestors’ graves, offer food and flowers, and pray for their departed loved ones. In Catholic communities, the tradition includes special prayers, blessings, and the incorporation of Christian symbols, creating a beautiful harmony of faith and culture. Join us in commemorating this meaningful occasion as we honor our ancestors and celebrate the enduring bonds of family.
