"Ong Yah Kong" Praying Ceremony In My Village

:


              "Ong Yah Kong" praying ceremony in my Village (Kampung Tiang Dua) every years 13th days of 1st month in Chinese Calender. Since my grandfather time, the praying ceremony is still continue. Till now is the 4th generation who will contribute to lift and shake the "Ong Yah Kong" sedan chair.
              For sure, the 3rd generation like myself will also joined part in the lifting, shaking and throwing the sedan chair to the air. The highest we ever make is more than 4 meters from the ground. 


             The huge red, richly ornamented sedan chairs they were carrying rocked and jerked wildly, sideways, forward and backwards, as though a giant was jumping inside to crazy heavy metal music.  But all everyone could see in each sedan was the serene statue of a Chinese god, complete with joss sticks and sacred inscriptions.


          Besides, in Chinese religions, god will attached to some man and joined part in the praying ceremony. Unbelievable, the steel rod with 7 feet long will pierce thru the cheek, without leaving any wound when the god leaving the man.



          This is all about the religion!! Everyone in the world have their own religions. Respect each other in the world, even tough they are only minority in the world. !!
