Wu-Feng Presbyterian chuch had 45 minutes of ancester's memorial service on the weekends of Chingming Festival Weekends.

What are the differences between the Presbyterian Church in the United States besides the language of the service? I am now reporting one major difference is the annual memorial services for the deceased members. The dates of the service are different; it is the All Saint Day in the United States while in Taiwan, it is on the Sunday of the Chingming Festival (清明, literally means clear and brighter) the Tomb-Sweeping Day which is on April 4. The other difference is the degree of elaboration of the celebration. In the States, it was about 5 minutes, with the somber bell-ring to show the respect to the deceased church members of the previous year. At Wu-Feng church, it was 45 minutes service for deceased church members for many generations.

Chingming Festival is a big holiday for Taiwanese, especially for Han 漢-Taiwanese. On this holiday, Han-Taiwanese of folk religion would sweep the tomb of ancestors, burn the incense, and place paper-silver-money (money used in the deceased world) on the tomb, and offer food and fruit to the ancestors. Han-Taiwanese Christians do not burn incense, do not offer deceased-world-money. They do the memorial service and offer a bow and flowers instead.
