On the Evening of 13th Day of Lunar 7 Month (農曆巧月十三日), just before Jave conducted the Lighting of the 27 Spiritual Lamps to Open up the Spiritual Realm for the Suffering Souls to be released out, the Summoning of the Souls of different Families was being conducted.
Firstly, Jave conducted the Cleansing of the Pathway from the external compound into the internal compound of the Temple, followed by Enhancing the Pathway into a Spiritual Bridge that allowed the Souls to Cross the Boundary.
Thirdly, report to the Door Deities (侍廟門神), Earth Deities (此間土地) & City Deity (當境城隍) that were put In-charged to lead the Souls into the Temple compound and last, using the Summoning Souls’ Banner to lead the individual Soul into the Temple compound.
Upon successfully Summoned Soul, the Family Members/Descendant would used the Incenses to lead the way to their Respective Soul Tablet (魂帛) and after reaching the Soul Altar, the Family Members/Descendant had to call upon the Pass-ons to wash their Face & Hands using the Enhanced Water that being placed underneath the Soul Altar.
With about an hour’s of Conducting the Summoning of Souls, the whole Ceremony ended.
Million Thanks to Royce, Kok Hwa & Jim for sharing with us the Pictures.
