I. Rites to worship spiritual deities and ancestors on the full moon day, what should be prepared?

1. Altar for the full moon day of the twelfth lunar month

The full moon day of the twelfth lunar month does not require elaborate preparations, only the sincerity of the homeowner is enough. This is a spiritual ritual to remember and send wishes for health, luck, and peace to all members of the family.

For the altar on the full moon day of the twelfth lunar month, depending on each region and the economic condition of each family, the corresponding ritual items should be prepared. However, you can refer to some basic items such as:

  • A vegetarian dish: fresh flowers, fresh fruits, betel leaves and areca nuts, clean water, candles, incense.
  • A salty dish: sticky rice/sticky rice cake, boiled chicken, boiled pork sausage, fried spring rolls, stir-fried dishes, etc.

2. Altar for the monthly full moon day

According to the beliefs of our ancestors, the altar for the full moon day used to require elaborate preparations with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. However, due to the busy modern life, many families do not have time to prepare all the required ritual items.

Therefore, the altar for the monthly full moon day has been simplified to a considerable extent. However, an altar still needs to have necessary ritual items such as fruits, fresh flowers, betel leaves and areca nuts, incense, wine, some cakes and sweets, and a glass of water.

3. Significance of the rites on the first day of each month

According to the long-standing beliefs, the “first day” is called “the day of sowing”. The main meaning of the word “sowing” is the beginning, the starting point. This is the first day of a new month, hence it is called “the day of sowing”.

As for the significance of the “full moon day”, it is often referred to as “the day of anticipation”. The word “anticipation” means looking far and wide. This is the day when the moon and the sun are in symmetrical positions at the farthest polar points in a month. Our ancestors believed that this is the day when we observe the moon and the sun the most, shining upon all souls, making people enlighten and pushing away all darkness within us.

The full moon day falls on the 15th day of the lunar month. There is one full moon day in each month, so there are 12 full moon days in a year. Among them, some full moon days are worshipped the most, such as the full moon day of the first lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the full moon day of the seventh lunar month.

The full moon day of the first lunar month is also known as Lunar New Year’s Day or Thượng Nguyên festival, which falls on the first full moon of a new year. The ritual of worshipping on the full moon day of the first lunar month is usually carried out during the time of Ngọ (from 11am to 1pm) on the main full moon day (lunar day 15 – January 15th). In practice, most families still worship on this day, with flexible timing depending on practical conditions.

Vietnamese people consider the “sowing day” and the “anticipation day” as days to commemorate ancestors. These two days also have the meaning of “auspiciousness”, as they are considered the best days in a month. In reality, it is acceptable to worship on the first day or the full moon day, or in the afternoon of the 30th day or the 14th day of each month.

4. The number of incense sticks to light and their meanings according to folk beliefs

NUMBER OF INCENSE STICKS
MEANING OF INCENSE STICKS
Lighting 1 stick Signifying peace for the homeowner
Lighting 3 sticks Informing the family, protecting the household and warding off misfortunes.
Lighting 5 sticks Predicting bad luck for others or inviting spiritual beings.
Lighting 7 sticks Inviting angels, celestial soldiers, celestial generals. Generally, people rarely light 7 sticks.
Lighting 9 sticks This is a signal for seeking help. If it is not necessary, there is no need to light that many sticks.

Therefore, depending on the space of the altar, if the homeowner’s house is small, feng shui experts recommend lighting 1 stick of incense to avoid the smoke affecting the surroundings, especially for houses with young children, to prevent fire hazards.
