For the traditional ceremony “Charye,” Some Koreans
Summary
For the traditional ceremony “Charye,” Some Koreans burn incense and offer food to their ancestors during Chuseok to offer thanks for protection and as a plea for continued spiritual protection. Pictured: The table is spread Sept. 15 in Changwon, South Korea, for a morning Charye ceremony. Recently, Koreans modified the ceremony based on their religions; some people who believe in Christianity simply pray for their ancestors instead of observing traditional Charye ceremonies.
