On this occasion, people practice traditional customs to wish for a new lunar year full of peace, luck, wealth, and prosperity. No matter where they reside, family members do their best to reunite for the holiday and visit their relatives and friends.
A couple of weeks before Tet, Vietnamese people visit their ancestors’ tombs and clean gravesites. They light incense at the graves, sum up the family’s major events during the year for their ancestors and invite the deceased to “go home” to enjoy Tet with the living.
