Qing Ming Festival

I'm quite curious on what Qing Ming is called in English. Googled.. and found out that it's called "Tomb Sweeping Day".

What does one actually do during this day? For the chinese, it's a day to remember and honour one's ancestors. All family members will get together during this day to go pray before the ancestors.



They will sweep the tomb, clean it up and offer food, tea, wine, and burning paper accessories.


If I'm free, I'll try to make it for this festival because this is time where all the family members will present and it's another family gathering other than the Chinese New Year
