Before the sacrifice, one must fast, which includes bathing and changing clothes. One must not get drunk, eat meat, attend funerals, visit the homes of sick people, or engage in obscene activities. In short, one must not participate in any unlucky or dirty activities. So, how is the time for sacrifice determined? Can we offer sacrifices on the 20th day of the seventh lunar month in 2018? The weather in the seventh month of the lunar calendar is still terribly hot. Let’s go to the Fortune Teller website to learn more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018.Can I offer sacrifices on the 20th day of the seventh lunar month in 2018?Gregorian calendar: Thursday, August 30, 2018, Virgo. Lunar calendar: July 20, 2018. Suitable days today include digging graves, getting married, recruiting a son-in-law, seeking an heir, seeking medical treatment, travelling, migrating, taking up a post, signing contracts, moving into a new home, building, opening a warehouse, offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, attending school, receiving wealth, and planting. Suitable days today include separating, setting up beds, cutting wood, putting up beams, receiving livestock, erecting pillars, installing doors, building a house, making a stove, receiving marriage proposals, burying people, breaking ground, opening a business, and seeking wealth. Therefore, sacrifices can be made on this day.What things cannot be used as offerings in sacrifices?1. Avoid using beef and dog meat to worship gods. 2. Avoid using food that has been eaten to worship gods. 3. Avoid using fruits such as pomegranate (i.e. guava) and tomatoes to worship gods. Because these two fruits have seeds, which will be excreted by the human body after eating them, any fruit whose seeds can be excreted cannot be used for sacrifice. 4. Avoid using eels and goats to worship gods. 5. Avoid using bitter melon and winter melon to worship gods. 6. Avoid using a single bowl to worship gods. People's mentality of valuing odd numbers and disliking even numbers in tragic events and funerals is exactly the opposite of their mentality of valuing even numbers and disliking odd numbers in festive events. Since worshiping gods is a happy occasion, it is necessary to use even numbers and avoid odd numbers. Therefore, six, eight, ten, twelve, or fourteen bowls can be used when worshiping gods, but seven, nine, eleven, or thirteen bowls, etc. should be avoided. |
