The First Full Moon Chiseong for the Year of the Golden Dog was Successfully Held
Daesoon Jinrihoe held the first full moon Chiseong (the devotional offering), with about 6,200 people participating, at Yeoju headquarters temple complex at 1:00 am on March 2nd (the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar). The first full moon day of the lunar year is as important as Lunar New Year's Day and Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving Day) are both Korean seasonal customs. Particularly, this day imbued with even more meaning for disciples because on the same day in 1919, Doju received a sealed letter from Sangje's younger sister, Madam Seondol. The letter had been written by Sangje in His living years and is regarded as proof that Doju is the rightful successor of the religious orthodoxy. On this day, the disciples revive the meaning of the orthodox religious authority and attend this Chiseong with reverence. https://youtu.be/O5kMK3q_pVE

Starting with a gilnori (road game) performance at 5:30 pm, Daesoon Hanmadang folk music team performed a pangut exorcism and jishin-babgi (stepping on the spirits of the terrain). During the sheaf burning, which is the main event, the participants made wishes in their minds while walking around the burning sheaf. Just like last year’s event, magnificent fireworks embroidered the night sky of the first full moon with colorful flames. One of the participants who lives in Gangcheon-myeon gave his impression of this event remarking, “Every year I join this event with other villagers. I am always thankful to Daesoon Jinrihoe for working hard for our community and providing cultural events like this one.”
