Factory worker spreads incense to dry in Vietnam.

 

In Vietnam, burning incense holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. It's a tradition deeply rooted in Vietnamese Buddhism and folk beliefs. Burning incense is seen as a way to honor ancestors, spirits, and deities, creating a sacred atmosphere for prayer and meditation. Vietnamese families often burn incense during important occasions such as Lunar New Year celebrations, ancestor worship ceremonies, and funerals. The fragrant smoke is believed to carry prayers and offerings to the spirit world, fostering a connection between the living and the deceased. Additionally, burning incense is believed to purify the surroundings, ward off evil spirits, and bring good fortune. Beyond its religious and spiritual aspects, burning incense is also a symbol of cultural heritage and tradition, preserving centuries-old customs and rituals in Vietnamese society.
