This morning, I visited the market to buy some fruits, flowers, meat, vegetables and food.
In Vietnam, there are two days we need to pray - the 1st and 15th of the Lunar calendar. So i often visited market on those days to buy something for the prayer. Today is the first day of July, the seventh month in Lunar month is regarded as the Ghost month and the fifteenth day of the Ghost month is called Ghost holiday ( I just knew the term in English. My teacher has taught me). In Viet Nam, it is called " Lễ Vu Lan - mùa báo hiếu". I don't know the exact translation.
So I only can explain like that. Vu Lan is an annual holiday to commermorate the merit of parents and ancesstors in genaral, reminding each person to appreciate what they have, reminding children of their duty to always remember their father's nourishing merit and progeny do filial things to show their affection and gratitude
Today, the rain has stopped, so it was comfortable to walk to the market. What a wonderful feeling to walk on a cool morning, There were many flowers such as roses, yellow daisy, peony, lily... but i like roses so i bought some cream- colored roses. They look very beautiful.
