Breaking Dawn

Chinese's all soul's day equivalent falls on April 4th this year, taboo has it that rituals can be performe anytime a week before or after the date. The oldest surviving elder, always decide the date and members of the family are to return to the ancestral home for the occassion.

Today is the choosen date by MIL and it involves 5- 6 graves to attend in 2 separate locations. As in previous years, we started the day early, at 7am but this year the sky was rather dark instead of the bright and sunny sky that normally greeted us. We arrived at the first cementary and caught sight of the first light, DD managed to capture some of its moments on her mobile.
then we thought we should wait a little while we did what we had came for and forgot about it until the sun has gone a little too high.

We had a tired weekend, like we had gone on a hike or something. Hope yours was pleasant and wonderful.
