Fei Jie Fu Mid Autumn Celebration for Xin Mao Year 2011 (正一龍山飛捷府仲秋朝禮月佬儀式)





After a massive preparation for this Special Event, finally the day had arrived.

PS: All Offerings must be in Red or Pink color, shape must be Round. Not only that, Offerings must be associated with Marriage, Relationships/etc. Million Thanks to Vabien’s Mum – Aunt Catherine, for preparing the White & Red Flower Baskets. These 2 colored Flowers are to request for Blessings for All Guys and Gals (regardless of Beings) for Good Relationship (所有供品只能以紅色及粉紅為主。供花也只能以紅白為主。其他顏色花朵﹐易招爛桃花).

Must really thank Vabien for making initiative to conduct this Ritual, cos this Culture of Honouring Lord Yue Lao had somehow being lost in South-East Asia.

On the 14th Noon, we arrived at Vabien’s Home and most of the Offerings were being set up.

By the time the Clock strikes 6.30Pm, the Ritual was ready to commence. Just as we were about Sound the Spiritual Musical Instruments to initiate the beginning of the Ritual, heavy rain poured. Everyone was quite disappointed cos they worried that on that night, the Moon wouldn’t be showing “herself” due to the thick cloud and haze.

But, just as Jave finished writing the Talismans to request for the “Opening of Heavenly Gate (開天儀式)”, something strange happened (as for this, Jave will leave it to the others to explain).

With the completion of the Opening of the Heavenly Gate, the Reporting to the Celestial Realm was being conducted and followed by ushering in the various Deities that were involved in this Ritual. After the ushering, Vabien was to represent the whole LSM to offer Incenses to the Invited Deities and then, Jave continued to conduct the Dotting Ceremony for the 4 assistants of Lord Yue Lao – Hong Ling Zi (紅靈子), Hong Luan Zi (紅鸞子), Hong Huang Zi (紅凰子) & Hong Xian Zi (紅線子).

Upon the completion, it was the time for us to Honour the Lord Yue Lao and the other Deities that got their Manifestation Anniversary on the 15th Day of Lunar 8 Month.

It took about 30 minutes to conduct the honouring and by then, with the request of Vabien, Jave had conducted the Disconnecting of Negative Relationships (斷孽緣) – cutting of the Black & White Ribbons (剪斷黑白線) and then conducted the Enhancing of Getting Good Relationships Ceremony (增人緣) – getting the Pink Ribbons (敬納紅粉線), for all of them.

And to round off the Ceremony, everyone had to bring back a pair of Da Xiao Yuan Qian (大小緣錢) aka The Big and Small Affinity Coins for all Good Blessings.

Looking at the Clock, it was getting late and so, we decided to send off the Deities and had our Dinner.

Million Thanks to Royce and Vabien for sharing with us the Pictures.
