On October 7 (Feast of the Most Holy Rosary of the BVM) was also the Chung Yeung Festival. It is a time where many Hong Kong people go to the cemeteries and visit their loved ones. Here they clean around the grave, repaint any inscription that is worn, as well as leave food there.
On that day protests again broke out in many places around Hong Kong. Instead of visiting their ancestors, and even praying for their souls, they chose to do violence against the government. They have decided that they are too important to go visit the dead. They protest and the dead are forgotten.
No one died on that night but you have to wonder how many more people will Catholic have to pray for in November?
