In Vietnamese culture, New Year's Eve is considered an important moment to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year. At this time, each family will offer a tray of offerings to ancestors, see off the gods of the old year, and welcome the gods of the new year.
New Year's Eve worshiping ceremony is performed both indoors and outdoors, so there will be corresponding prayers.
