《端午吉慶日》與《五毒餅》

又快到《端午吉慶日》﹐請記得在準備粽子時﹐也順到訂購一些《五毒餅》哦。

相傳《五毒餅》是由明朝初期，朝廷御厨所“發明”，之後流傳至民間，與清朝時，記錄於《京都風俗志》中。

在《端午吉慶日》上供神明及天師之時﹐得準備一份《五毒餅》，在供奉完畢後，分發給小孩子們﹐期望在吃了《五毒餅》之後﹐能百毒不侵﹐身體安康。

Duan Wu Festival is just round the corner, Jave is sure that many of you have already bought or prepared various types of Rice-dumpling waiting to welcome this special Day.

But wait, beside Rice-dumplings, we the Taoists or Chinese do have the practise of consuming the “Five Poison Pastry Cake” too.

Usually after offering it to the Deities or Heavenly Masters, these Pastry Cakes will be distributed out to children, hoping that by eating away all these “Poisons”, the children will be blessed with Good Health.

So for those who have yet to order, please do order them quickly.
