In Vietnam, moving to a new home is special, and we celebrate with a ritual called lễ nhập trạch.
We carefully pick an auspicious date for this ceremony.
First, we bring in offerings of incense, fresh fruit, salt, and rice.
These items are believed to invite good spirits and protect us from bad energy.
After we perform the ceremony, family and neighbors gather to share a delicious meal together.
It’s a wonderful way to start fresh in our new house and create happy memories with loved ones.
