A Village-wide Celebration near Guanshi

     Every so many years, my mother-in-law's family village holds a village-wide celebration.  As I understand it, each village n Taiwan holds periodic celebrations, though not necessarily on the same day.

     In the foreground, you can see Michelle's younger sister Joanna (standing), and her husband Daniel (seated).  Seated at left is one of Michelle and Joanna's aunts.

     Below is the altar in the village temple.  The photo at left on the altar is of an ancestress.

     All that fun, food, and family fellowship can be tiring.  I can't tell who it is, but she's sleeping on the sofa in my mother-in-law's living room.
