Hello, Cecil

My brother (Tiger 1962) & myself (Dog 1958) plan to make ching ming offerings to our deceased parents earlier than 5 Apr. We are looking at 27 Mar & 3 Apr - are these dates ok for us?

Also we heard we hv to make an earlier ching ming offerings to the deceased who has passed away no longer than a yr? Is this proper? Can we do likewise for the deceased who has passed away a few yrs already?

Kindly guide us. Thank you. Sable

Dear Sable,

For Qing Ming, the best time to offer prayers is 10 days before and 10 days after Qing Ming. Thus 27 Mar and 3 April would fall within the 10 days prior to Qing Ming.

(Qing Ming is 5 April 2005). Thus the last day to offer Qing Ming prayers is 15 April 2005.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
