Results for "land offering indoors or outdoors"

Quick answer

Should the giao thừa offering be made indoors or outdoors?

Many families do both. The indoor offering welcomes the new and bids farewell to the old and honours the ancestors, while the outdoor offering bids farewell to the Hành khiển (administrative deity) of the old year and welcomes the Hành khiển of the new year. The time is usually the hour of the Rat, around 11 p.m. on the 30th to 1 a.m. on the first day of Tet.
