Long Shan Men ushering in the New Lunar Ren Chen Year (正一龍山門喜迎壬辰新春)

After a week’s Preparation, it was time for Long Shan Men (正一龍山門) to conduct the Ceremony of Ushering in the New Lunar Year (迎新) on the Lunar Eve of the New Year (大年除夕).

At 6.00Pm in the Noon of the Lunar Eve, after doing the last minute cleaning up of the Main Altar Jave had conducted another round of the Departing of Old Year Ceremony & Thanksgiving dedicating to the Main Deities.

Upon completion, it was time for Jave & Family to have Reunion our Dinner (團圓飯) with the whole Family (including Aunties & Cousins).

At about 11.30Pm, Jave & Family arrived home and with the Brewing of Tea & preparing of the Wine, we Offered our Incenses for the Lunar New Year (新春頭香) and when the Clock strikes 0000 Hours, Long Shan Men Officially Ushered in the Lunar New Year.

Upon completion of the conducting our Honouring to the Deities, it was time for Jave to pay my Lunar New Year respect to my Mum. As usual, Jave had prepared the 3 necessary items and kneel-down in front of my Mum to wish her all the Best and having a Healthy Year ahead.

With that, Jave will wait for 3 rounds of Incenses to be Offered before Sending Off of the Paper Offerings to Thank the Deities for their Blessings.

In here, with this Opportunity, Long Shan Men will like to wish ALL of you a Prosperity and Happy Lunar New.

春回大地萬象新。
百花齊放富貴臨。
舊年替換新禧至。
迎來財富銀與金。
