Also known in ancient texts as "spirit's return" or "soul's homecoming." Folk belief holds that on the seventh day after death, the departed spirit returns home to visit loved ones. Families prepare offerings and hold a quiet vigil to express grief and remembrance. Out of reverence, doors are kept slightly ajar, lights dimmed, and the household remains still to avoid disturbing the spirit.
