SHICHI-GO-SAN (7-5-3) SERVICE
Zenshuji Temple’s celebration for children’s Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3 years old) will be held on Sunday, November 6th at 11:00 am AND 2 pm. You can pick either time to register.
Usually girls of 7 years, boys of 5 years and boys and girls of 3 years old go to the local shrine to express gratitude to the Gods for their growth and continued blessings. The children dress in colorful traditional kimono as they enter the shrine. If Western attire is worn, the children dress up in party dresses and suits. The children are given candy called “chitoseame” (thousand year candy) to promise them long life. We order these candies from Japan.
To Register, please call the temple and register with the ministers
at Zenshuji.
ROHATSU SESSHIN
We are happy to announce that we will hold Rohatsu Sesshin this year again. Participants must be vaccinated against Covid-19 and must wear masks in the Zendo during the sesshin. Masks are recommended, but not required in other interior spaces other than the Zendo. Please see the flyer for details. Registration is required. Please register by emailing: webmaster@zenshuji.org
