To express gratitude to their parents, from the 15th of July to the 8th lunar month every year, Thai families in Nghe An will hold a ceremony called Khau Bua Sa, which is roughly translated as Fruit Festival. The Khau Bua Sa ceremony is an occasion for families and siblings to reunite, for children living far away to remember and show their gratitude to their grandparents and parents, and is also an opportunity for close friends and neighbors to get closer and unite, because according to the Thai people's concept, the more people participate, the more blessings and luck they will bring.
We invite you to join Vietnam.vn to learn about this festival through the video “Khau Bua Sa Festival: Preserving the ancient culture of the Thai people” by author Ho Ngan Hanh. This video was recorded by the author during a Khau Bua Sa ceremony in Nghe An. For the Thai people, this is not only a religious ceremony, but also a connection between the present world and the spiritual world, where ancestors are silently watching over and protecting their descendants. The offerings are elaborately prepared, from bowls of fragrant sticky rice, homegrown agricultural products such as fruits, bamboo shoots... grown in the garden to fat pigs and chickens - all expressing the desire for abundance, peace and prosperity. This video was submitted by the author to the Photo and Video Contest “Happy Vietnam”, organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications .
