H'mong women in traditional costumes to celebrate Tet.
According to H’mong people’s calendar, the night of the last day of the 11th lunar month is New Year’s Eve. Normally, on the evening of November 30th of the lunar calendar, H'mong families hold a ceremony to worship their ancestors. Each family prepare a tray of food to thank them for a good harvest and good health as well as pray for a year full of health, peace, and bumper crops in new year.
The sound of the panpipe is indispensable in the spring days of the H’mong people.
The H'mong people's Tet tray includes pork, chicken, sticky rice, rice cakes, and fresh vegetables and fruits. In H’mong people’s traditional belief, the round cake symbolises the sun and the moon. Therefore, ahead of Tet, people join hand to make ‘banh day’ to offer to the gods and ancestors.
