"Apple gadget" offerings to heaven for your ancestors (Qing Ming/Tomb Sweeping day)

[redbeacon]

Bridging the technological-upbringing gap between Earth and Heaven

 

Ch'ing Ming Festival, approximately regarded as the Chinese version of 'All Souls Day' or Tomb Sweeping day, is where the Chinese pay their respects to and honour their forefathers and next-of-kin who has moved on. It is also a time where joss paper and paper representations of Earth-items are burned as gifts to them in the afterlife.

 

Besides paper representations of things like cars, furniture, figurative maids/butlers, and anything the descendants want their respected to have in the afterlife, the people in China are even taking their gifts to a whole new level.

Respectfully it's really 'touching' for those people to offer touchscreen electronic gifts to their ancestors.
