do christians observe ching ming?
Good question and my answer will be no. Reason is whoever died is still not as important as that at G*d in heaven which reside as number one spot in their heart

most christians cremated wad..during annivesary we go to visit..Originally posted by shuiling:do christians observe ching ming? -
i know of christians who go tomb sweeping bcos it's their grandparents in the grave
it's from the notion of respecting your kin and is not tied to religion -

Christians have designated two days per year to go visit the grave of their loved ones. One is on All Souls' Day, 2 Nov and another is on Holy Saturday (the day jus after Good Friday)
We visit the grave not to offer food or drinks but rather as a mark of remembrance for the dead because we know they are in heaven with God and one day we will meet.

i tot is on tmr 04/04/06? I saw it from the calander.. -
I don't think you wanna go tomorrow will be freaking packed. I went yesterday (sunday) to Sin Min Avenue, the temple there to pay respect to my grand father. Was freaking packed, roads packed with cars all packing along the road sides and you can also see polices diverting the traffic there. So remember don't drive, take public transport. In addtion to that the weather nowadays is always raining, remember to bring a umbrella!
