Blessing of the foundations of a new six floor apartment building in Chiang Mai Thailand by Brahmin priest. Buddhism exists side-by-side with, and to some extent intermingles with, pre-Buddhist animism and Brahman practices. Most Thais, whether or not they profess to be Buddhists, believe in a rich supernatural world. When ill, or at other times of crisis, or to seek supernatural help, Thais may enlist the aid of a practitioner who is believed to be able to propitiate or obtain help from various spirits. Local spirits are believed to inhabit a variety of objects, and shrines to them may be found in houses, businesses in Buddhist temples, along roads, and in forests. Blessing ceremonies to ward off evil spirits and bad luck are carried out both by Buddhist monks and Brahmins.

Why do people always tell, count your blessings? Because someday, you will be counting what you have lost.
Why do you have to count what you've lost? So you will be able to feel sorry about it.
Make sure everything counts and cherished everytime! You'll never know.
This is a very old custom among the villages of mountain Pelion. The day of celebration the 'analipsis' of Jesus (the rise to Heavens 40 days after His resurrection) riders and their horses from villages of mountain Pelion are gathered at the beach of village Kala Nera. They parade to escort the priests with the holly illustration of 'analipsis' and during the ceremony the riders and their horses are blessed with Holly Water, are treated with a shot of the local spirit 'tsipouro' and candies. After that the riders and their horses go to the nearby beach for a 'swim'. The event ends with folclor music and dancing.
