Atang: A ceremonial act usually done by the Ylokanos (Ilokanos/Ilocanos) during high holy days such as Palm Sunday, Lent, Easter season, and Christmas season in the Roman Catholic tradition, during All Saint’s & All Souls Day, or during the anniversary of the departed. It is a tradition where it is believed to offer food & drink to the dead as well as flowers and candles. Other ethnic groups in the Philippines have a similar if not the same tradition regardless of religious affiliation.
(this is the Atang in my family’s altar/shrine to mark the 1st of the 3 days celebrating the dead)
