Jesa

Jesa (Korean: 제사; Hanja: 祭祀, ) is a ceremony commonly practiced in Korea. Jesa helps people celebrate their ancestors. Jesa are usually held on the anniversary of the ancestor's death. Most people participate in Jesa but some religious groups such as Protestants and Muslims do not.    지금은 다른 종교를 믿을 수 있기 때문에 굳이 제사를 통해 영생을 찾을 필요도 없다.   개신교에서는 제사 대신 추도예배를 드린다 The Catholic Church permitted Jisi in 1939.  Many people who have left their home countries avoid the rites   이민간 나라의 풍습에 따라서 제사 의식이 없는 나라가 있다.
