We had Jesa, a ceremony practiced in Korean tradition of remembering our ancestors on the anniversary of their passing. We have it every year for my grandparents, and what we do is we put up pictures of them and set up a table full of food for them to partake, and bow to them and remember them, even though they’re no longer with us. Of course we don’t really believe they eat the food we prepare for them, but we do believe their spirits come down and visit us and are grateful for us taking the time to prepare the food with love, and know that we still think of them. This is one of the things I love about the Korean tradition, which is remembering and honoring our ancestors.

THank you for your comments, everyone!
One of my good friends is from Poland! I've always wanted to visit there. 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
what do you do with the food? do you just leave it there or throw it out or partake of it?
Very interesting…
We leave it while we bow and pour them drinks, then we may talk or wait until they're done partaking the food. Then we eat the food.
