Food and drinks offering at Chheng Meng, Tomb Sweeping Day

Tomb Sweeping Day, “Chheng Meng” in Khmer, is a festival to honour the ancestors. The festival is of Chinese origin. Qingming is celebrated in Cambodia among the Chinese exodus, and among Khmer with intermarriage or with other strong relations to Chinese culture.
It is a celebration of spring, by honouring and remember the ancestors by cleaning and decorate their graves, pray and bring offerings of food and drink, money and high value items.
After the rites and cleaning of the graves, the Khmer family gathers for food, drinks and celebrating family, friends and neighbours at one of the family members houses. It is always a great honour to be invited to attend.

Burning gifts and wish for the ancestor’s support

Tomb Sweeping Day, “Cheng Meng” in Khmer, is a festival to honour the ancestors. The festival is of Chinese origin. Qingming is celebrated in Cambodia among the Chinese exodus, and among Khmer with intermarriage or with other strong relations to Chinese culture.
As it is a celebration of Spring, this festival is in the first week of April after the current Roman Calendar. It is not an official holiday in Cambodia, and it is often celebrated in Khmer families on one of the weekend days closest to 1st of April.
An important part is for the families to bring forth offerings, food, drink, incense, gifts and prayers for luck and support.
The burning of incense and paper gifts are burned during this festival too. The idea is that this sends gifts to relatives who have died. Burning paper items such as villas, money, household items, motorbikes and cars is the transmission of the items and materials to one's ancestors.
This will give the ancestors a better and more comfortable afterlife. In return the ancestors will give blessings and luck to the family.

Sheldon Whitehouse here

with big news, team:

President Biden and Vice President Harris endorsed #sweeping #reforms to the Supreme Court, including 18-year #term #limits for justices and an #enforceable #code of #ethics.

I've been leading the way on reforming the Supreme Court for many years.
This has been a long, and at times lonely, fight.
⭐️But we've got momentum now.

My ♦️SCERT Act, ♦️
which would create real ethical guardrails at the Supreme Court,
is through committee and ready for a floor vote.

AND I have the ♦️Supreme Court Biennial Appointments and Term Limits Act♦️ to establish eighteen-year term limits for justices.

👉 Will you chip in today to support my re-election campaign
so I can keep building on our momentum to
✅clean up the mess at the Court That Dark Money Built? ✅
