Yesterday, we were livestreaming our walk around the Lower East Side to highlight some of the wonderful small businesses in the neighborhood and captured this scene of the burning of Joss paper outside a Chinese grocery store. Joss paper also known as incense papers are papercrafts or sheets of paper made into burnt offerings common in Chinese ancestral worship (such as the veneration of the deceased family members and relatives on holidays and special occasions). Joss paper is also used for worship of deities in Chinese folk religion.
