Some people leave quite elaborate offerings at the temple, like this meal of suckling pig and sides.
Other offerings are more basic, like a couple of eggs and a chunk of bacon. In any case, I hope the spirits are appeased! (I also hope someone gets to enjoy the food after it has been on offer for a sufficient time). Photos taken in December 2016.
It's those eyes like marbles that intrigue me!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too! It would be shame to let it go to waste.
ReplyDelete...a historical practice!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it has to be on offering for. Those marble eyes are interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe statues certainly stand out.
ReplyDeleteUm costume bem oriental.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço.

The eyes make the statue look real. I wonder too what happens with the food.
ReplyDeleteOfertas muito bem elaboradas para os Deuses.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

That looks rather weird to put it in their mouths :)
