Worship of Kitchen Gods - beautiful custom of Tet

01/25/2022 08:58 | TTXVN |

Worshipping “Ong Cong, Ong Tao” (Land Genie and Kitchen Gods) is a long-standing custom of great significance as it symbolises the farewell to all bad things of the old year to help people relaxedly enter a new year of peace and happiness. The Land Genie and Kitchen Gods worshipping ritual is held on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, which falls on January 25 this year. It is also considered the start of the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival - the biggest and most important traditional holiday for Vietnamese. As the legend goes, “Ong Cong” (Land Genie) is the one in charge of land while “Ong Tao” (Kitchen Gods), consisting of two males and one female, are those who keep a watch over kitchen affairs of a family. They take note of a family’s issues in a year and will ride carps back to the Heaven on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month to report all the good and bad things of that family to the God of Heaven.
