Villagers set up an altar "warm clothes, full meals, remembering Uncle Ho" on Tet holiday

At the end of the year, in some localities in the West such as Bac Lieu, it is easy to see the image of Uncle Ho's altar set up by people right in front of their houses to welcome the traditional Lunar New Year of the nation.

"Spring comes, Tet comes, I set up an altar for Uncle Ho to remember his merits. The phrase "warm clothes, full meals, remember Uncle Ho" also expresses that precious thing", Ms. Phuong, a resident of Bac Lieu province, shared.

According to Dan Tri reporters, depending on the conditions of each family, Uncle Ho's altar is made elaborately or simply, but all show solemnity. On the altar, in addition to Uncle Ho's picture, there are fruits, flowers, colored lights, etc.

In addition, the altar also has incense sticks so that when relatives come to visit and wish the homeowner a Happy New Year, they can also burn incense respectfully to remember Uncle Ho.

On the afternoon of the 30th of Tet, in a hamlet in Phong Thanh A commune (Gia Rai town, Bac Lieu province), many households had finished making altars to Uncle Ho.

Mr. Dao (local resident) said that when Tet comes, in addition to preparing for Tet like every other family, he also makes an altar for Uncle Ho and has maintained this practice for many years.

"This year, on Uncle Ho's altar, I offered watermelon, some cakes, a few glasses of water,... It's simple but it's from my heart. I pray for a good new year," Mr. Dao expressed.

The most meaningful and easily recognizable thing on the altar is Uncle Ho's picture and two sentences written on both sides: Independence and freedom thanks to the Party/Warm clothes and full meals remember Uncle Ho.

"All because of the sacred feelings and deep gratitude that the people have for the father of the nation," Mr. Lam (residing in Phong Thanh A commune) shared more.
