Description
"Veneration of ancestors, often called ancestor worship - a very important part of the religious system in China. This picture is very old. (Probably around 1900 because of the queues worn by the men)"
Captions for this set of lantern slides from the papers of Oliver and Jennie Logan, American Presbyterian missionaries in Hunan, were provided by their daughter Elsa.
