Understanding Year-End Worship and Its Significance
Before deciding on the perfect day for Year-End Worship, let's delve into the essence of this tradition. It's a ritual marking the old year's end and the new year's beginning, deeply rooted in folklore.
In Sino-Vietnamese, 'Tất' means to conclude or complete, and 'Niên' refers to the year. Thus, the Year-End meal signifies the end of one year, a tradition from ancient times.
This meal showcases respect for ancestors, hoping for a fortunate, peaceful, healthy, and joyful new year. It also brings family members together, especially those away from home, on the eve of the Lunar New Year.
