The traditional Qingming festival returns and it's time to tend to the graves of the departed ones. It is also a thanksgiving festival for the blessings showered on us by our ancestors for the past year. As usual, me, Margaret and Fyn went to pray to my late father, paternal grandparents and my cousin with bags of paper money, clothings, shoes, etc. Knowing that my late father loved to travel, we got him a passport and air-tickets together with a paper 'Kappa' shirt and pants. Haha.. Jokes aside, we have not forgotten our late maternal grandfather. He, too, should recieve a packet of gifts through him.
Today is also Palm Sunday. It is an occasion for reflecting on the final week of Jesus' life. It is a time for Christains to prepare their hearts for the agony of his Passion and the joy of his resurrection.
