1. Preparation of Offering Tray on the 3rd Day of Tet
Preparing the offering tray on the 3rd day of Tet is quite similar to the 1st and 2nd days. In addition to incense, fresh flowers, betel leaves, cakes, and gold... you also need to prepare savory dishes. These dishes typically include sausages, square glutinous rice cakes (banh chung or banh tet), bamboo shoot soup, boiled chicken, fried spring rolls...
After preparing the offerings, the head of the family will conduct the ritual, bow, and recite prayers. After the incense sticks burn out, you can lower the offering tray to gather with family.
