Summary
editDescriptionVientiane, baci ceremony (6172947454).jpg |
A local family where two of my friends stayed held a baci ceremony for us, for our safe journey. Baci is an animist ritual used to celebrate important events and occasions, like births and marriages and also entering the monkhood, departing, returning, beginning a new year, and welcoming or bidding etc. The ritual of the baci involves tying strings around a person’s wrist to preserve good luck, and has become a national custom.
