Besides the meticulous preparation of the ancestral offering tray, many families also pay attention to choosing flowers to offer on the altar on the occasion of the full moon of July. However, housewives also need to pay attention to avoiding some flowers that are considered "taboo" when displayed on the ancestral altar.
Water hyacinth
Phu dung flowers are one of the beautiful and fragrant flowers but do not bloom long. This flower also symbolizes fragility, rapid wilting and is completely unsuitable for offering on the full moon day of July.
Marigold
Marigolds are one of the flowers that should not be offered on the altar on the full moon day of July. The reason is that marigolds symbolize loss and are only used in funerals or death anniversaries. Therefore, you should not use this flower on the full moon day of July in a cozy space during the meaningful Vu Lan filial piety occasion.
Lilies
Apricot blossoms, in addition to having a rather strong fragrance, also express loss and sorrow. Therefore, very few families use this type of flower to offer to the ancestral altar, especially on the full moon day of July, they always need flowers that carry many meanings of luck, peace as well as express filial piety to grandparents and ancestors.
Lilies
Lilies have a luxurious beauty and bring a gentle fragrance. However, lilies have a different meaning of separation or separation. Therefore, lilies are limited by many families due to the difference on the full moon day of July with the desire for family to always reunite.
Jasmine
Jasmine is also one of the flowers that carries the meaning of purity and loyalty. Although it is a flower symbolizing love, jasmine is not suitable for worshiping ancestors. Therefore, housewives should consider carefully before choosing to buy flowers to offer on the altar on the full moon day of July.
