Jesa

Jesa (Korean: 제사; Hanja: 祭祀, Korean pronunciation: [tɕe.sa]) 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[1] and Muslims do not.[2][3] The Catholic Church permitted Jisi in 1939.[1] Many people who have left their home countries avoid the rites[4]
