Origins and Beliefs

 

The Baci Ceremony connects the 32 ‘kwan’ or spirits in our bodies. These spirits represent parts of the soul. The ceremony strengthens bonds, bringing peace to both individuals and communities.

 

 

A Ritual Steeped in Symbolism

 

An elder, once a Buddhist monk, leads the ceremony. The heart of the ritual is the ‘pah kwan’, a flower tray. People gather around it, praying together. During the ceremony, participants receive a white thread on their right wrist. This thread stands for purity and blessings. Holding their hand to the chest, they accept the thread, a mark of respect and good wishes.
