EVENTS
& FESTIVALS IN SINGAPORE
Month: April
Qing Ming Festival
Another Chinese festival held
in early April. The Chinese people would go to the cemetery to
pay homage to their ancestors with food, fruits, tea, and
Chinese pastries. Generally they do not go alone or with their
own family but with their clan as a whole family reunion.
Joss-sticks and candles are lit and placed before the tombs to
commemorate their ancestors. This festival clearly represents
the sense of gratitude to one's ancestors.
