Hungry Ghost Festival

This is a little chinese origami, to be burnt as offering to mark the end of the 7th month of the Chinese Lunar calendar.

In another word, the closing of Hell's gate, where the free-roaming "brothers and sisters" are to return to, after 30 days of semester break. Buddhists refer to it as Ullambana.

Uniquely, this is an ancestral worship tradition common to Asian, long before the introduction of Christ.

Besides burning offerings of Hell Money and worldly items, food were also offered. Some, to the extend of having dinner with extra seats and utensils set for the dear departed.
