New Year’s Eve Rituals for 2024: Offerings, Altars, and Ceremonies
On the eve of the 30th of the Lunar month, Vietnamese families come together to perform the 'Tang Nien' ceremony, a heartfelt ritual that bids farewell to the old year and welcomes the new. This intimate gathering, known as the 'all-year-end worship,' is a time for families to unite and invite their ancestors to join in the festive celebrations of Tet, the Vietnamese New Year. The simplicity of the ceremony is key, emphasizing the sincerity and warmth of the occasion rather than elaborate rituals.
