About visiting graves | blog | Shimanami Memory for the ocean scatter of the Seto Inland Sea

Happy belated new year. Thank you for your continued support for Murakami stone this year.

I have never been out of the country and have lived in Imabari for a long time, so I have never been to visit my hometown. I think that's what I did.

Let me talk about the time to visit the grave today!

Grave visit time

・Obon (August 13-15)

・Vernal Equinox Day and Autumnal Equinox Day

·New year holiday season

·anniversary of one's passing

In general, many people visit graves during these times.

Days you shouldn't visit graves

It seems that there are certain days when you are not allowed to go there depending on the region or sect, but basically there are no such days.

However, there are some people who think that elderly people should avoid "Butsumetsu", "Tomobiki", and "December 29 = double suffering". It is said to be bad luck and should be avoided, so it is not that you should absolutely not go, but it may be a good idea to consult with your family and relatives before visiting the grave. hey.

I talked about when to visit the graves, but regardless of the time of year, I think that the ancestors will be pleased just by burning incense and going to the hands of the ancestors.

This happened. That kind of thing happened. Please let me know.
