Ms. Loan Tran (in Hoa Binh) said that the full moon of the first lunar month (Tet Nguyen Tieu or Tet Thuong Nguyen) is one of the four biggest full moon days of the year for many Vietnamese people. On this day, people often worship their ancestors, heaven and earth, and go to pagodas to pray for peace.
Ms. Loan always tries to worship thoughtfully on the 15th and 1st of the lunar month with a sincere thought.
Ms. Loan placed colorful offerings on the altar on the full moon day of the first lunar month.
Ms. Do Thuy Linh (in Hanoi) also made a vegetarian offering tray to place on the family altar on the 15th day of the first lunar month. She said that to be in line with the Buddhist spirit, to limit killing at the beginning of the new year, because during Tet people eat too much meat and fish, a vegetarian meal is probably very suitable.
The vegetarian offering tray that Ms. Thuy Linh placed on the altar on the full moon day of the first lunar month includes: five-color spring rolls, fried mushroom spring rolls, blue pea flower sticky rice, stir-fried cauliflower with sweet corn and mushrooms, sweet corn and mushroom soup... She makes vegetarian dishes from vegetables, not meat.
Ms. Vu Thu Huong (in Hanoi) said that the full moon of the first lunar month is also the Thuong Nguyen Festival. This is the month when farmers start preparing to go to the fields. Before going to the fields, they hold ceremonies to show gratitude to their ancestors, pray for favorable weather and good crops.
Ms. Huong's offering tray for the full moon of January is shared by many people, considering it a suggestion for dishes to place on the altar on this day.
