何谓成人礼?

聖公信众“做十六岁”习俗在民间至今仍保留给孩子“做十六岁生日”的习俗,这源自“廣澤尊王是孩子的守护神”之说法。在中国太王陵威镇庙,常常有这样的场景,许多乡民用红布袋装着供品,到太王陵威镇庙谢鸡酒饭,庆生孩子平安长大。孩子十六岁生日时,也会到太王陵威镇庙答谢广泽尊王,祭拜聖王公墓。有的还会牵着一头羊去祭谒封茔,以答谢郭聖王多年的保佑。

廣澤尊王大孝成神—新加坡聖公文化为宣扬孝道,特备举办成人礼。借此机会让广大信众答谢神明的庇佑,也让孩子们为父母亲敬茶与献上感恩语。青少年对父母和长辈表达感恩之情,象征开启成人应有的思想及价值观,从中明白在成长过程中所应负的责任.

如你或您的孩子在16-21岁之间,欢迎报名参加难得一次的“成人礼”, 华人的非一般古老文化传承。感恩父母的爱护,向长辈敬茶、递上感恩卡,大人眼前的小孩长大了!
