Firstfruits Offering

Mandarin oranges are symbols of wealth and abundance in the local chinese tradition. It is popular during Chinese New Year and given out as well wishing gifts to relatives and friends.

They are normally used as offerings to the local deities and extensively during the various sacrifices to the gods.

We offered mandarin oranges to God this Chinese New Year after a year of abundant blessings. We are giving thanks for our health and being united for another night of reunion dinner. And we simply offer back to Him what He has blessed us.
