Greenwood Memorial Park hosts its first-ever Ching Ming festival with a performance by Chinese lion dancers to scare away bad spirits. The ancient Chinese grave-sweeping ritual is conducted each spring to honor the memory of deceased loved ones. For the event, Greenwood is providing light refreshments, tomb sweeping supplies and fire rooster pendants will be given to the first 100 attendees. The event is free and open to the public.
The observance of Ching Ming dates back more than 2,500 years and is linked to the Chinese culture of ancestor worship. Each year, celebrants visit ancestral graves where they conduct ceremonial rites and make offerings. Ching Ming traditions remain a significant part of cultural life in modern Chinese communities.
