What are the strange ways foreigners worship their ancestors?

Foreigners worship too. Just as China worships its ancestors on New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival, Chongyang Festival and Zhongyuan Festival, foreign countries have their own festivals to honor their ancestors. For example, Japan also worships its ancestors on July 15 of the lunar calendar, and their name for the festival is Obon, where families set up niches and light welcoming and sending fires. In North America, All Souls Day is celebrated on October 31 every year, a day when all the dead are commemorated through mass and celebration.
