Tian Gong 's Prayers & Preparations

Birth of Tian Gong is celebrated islandwide by many hokkiens in singapore at midnite on the 8th day of CNY. I was told by mum that during japanese occupation during worldwarII, singaporeans suffered & in order to hide away from the japanese army & bombs, they hid in bomb shelters until the day japanese surrendered. That's y everyone comes out to celebrate and thank Tian Gong (God of Heaven).

I'm not sure if tis beliefs is true onot but i onli noe that i'll be bz helping out with getting all the stuff ready for prayers. From roasted duck to roasted chicken, buns, long life noodles and red eggs, fruits and steamed cake.
