    For the traditional ceremony “Charye,” Some Koreans burn incense and offer food to their ancestors during Chuseok to offer thanks for protection and as a plea for continued spiritual protection. Pictured: The table is spread Sept. 15 in Changwon, South Korea, for a morning Charye ceremony. Recently, Koreans modified the ceremony based on their religions; some people who believe in Christianity simply pray for their ancestors instead of observing traditional Charye ceremonies.
