Joss Paper
Joss Paper is a type of paper that is traditionally burned as an offering in various Asian cultures, particularly in Chinese and Vietnamese traditions. It is often made to resemble money, such as banknotes, and is used in rituals to honor ancestors and deities. The practice is believed to provide spiritual support and material wealth to the deceased in the afterlife.
Typically, Joss Paper comes in various forms, including sheets, ingots, and other symbolic items. During festivals like Tết or Ghost Month, families may burn Joss Paper at altars or gravesites as a way to pay respect and ensure that their loved ones are cared for in the spiritual realm.
