Great Rite for the Gods of Earth and Agriculture

This yearly ceremonial rite is held in September to honor the ancestors and pay homage to the great gods of land and grains. It was also held to pray for peace throughout the land and for the prosperity of the people. Today, the memorial ceremony and rituals are done at the Sajikdan (Sajik Altar). Ceremonies also consist of yeongsinnye (greeting the descending gods), choheonnye, aheonnye and jongheonnye (three wine offerings), eumbongnye (sharing offered foods between participants in the rite) and mangnye (the burning of written prayers).
