Promotional kit for the values of Chinese Ghost Festival
The Ghost Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month. A solemn holiday, the Ghost Festival represents the connections between the living and the dead, earth & heaven, body & soul. It is a month in which ghost & spirits are believed to emerge out from the under world to visit earth and their love ones. This month is more than just scary ghosts or superstitious taboos. It is a month full of love, love from the living to the dead. Ritual offerings of food are prepared, hell notes are burnt & also prayers are 'given' to the visiting ghosts & spirits as well as deities & ancestors. This conscious act of giving and burning things to the dead has in turn allow the livings to subconsciously gain virtues & good karma.
