Autumnal Equinox Day is three days ahead of us.
Both vernal equinox day and autumnal equinox day are designated national holidays.
During weeks including equinox days, memorial services for the spirits of ancestors are held at home.
We cleaned the family alter, offered flowers and fruits.
At supermarkets, they set up a corner where you buy flowers for alter or graves.
Priests make a round of home visits to recite a Buddhist sutra at alter. They visit many houses, so usually donot stay more than 15 minutes.
