The Ghost Festival, also known as Wandering Souls Day, is a significant event in Vietnam's festival calendar. Similar to many other festivals in the country, it takes place according to the lunar calendar. The festival occurs in lunar July, a time believed to bring bad luck and curses from wandering souls. Legend has it that during this period, ghosts roam freely, causing trouble for the living.
To appease the lost and hungry souls without families, the Vietnamese people observe the 15th of July as the day to provide food for them. It is believed that if these spirits go hungry, they become angry and create mischief. Consequently, offerings are made to support these homeless souls throughout the month. Votive paper is burned, and pagodas and temples become bustling hubs, as people bring offerings of clothes, food, and other items to worship the ghosts and hungry spirits.
The Ghost Festival serves as a time for Vietnamese people to show respect and care for the departed, ensuring harmony between the living and the spiritual realm.
