Absolutely yes - we're big on sage ceremonies too so that bad spirits
are released.

Used to be done at Easter. Priest would come and bless the house and
Easter dinner. I've not heard of it done in 50 years though.
Fisherman had the blessing of the boats every spring.

I went to one last week; it was the opening of the island's new vet
clinic, which is next door to a church. All the clients were invited and
most brought their dogs. The church minister came to welcome his new
neighbours and bless the building and all who work and are cared for in
it. The pipe band played, a nearly famous person cut a ribbon and we all
ate cake and had a cup of tea.

On Good Friday, Catholic folks would carry a item planned for Easter
dinner to church for a special blessing. I don't know if it is done
anymore as I have moved from that area of the U.S,

I'm sure that some buildings have a blessing ceremony. My question was if it was a common thing. You pretty much answered my question.

It's a funny thing, ain't it? Ti leaves are so plain and common but it's supposed to bring good luck and even has some magical properties. They make leis with ti leaves.

My Chinese friend made me pass over some smoke near his doorway. We had gone to his dad's funeral and the smoke was supposed to keep the bad spirits outside.

Buildings are blessed everywhere, especially if they are new
church buildings. Other buildings not so much. Politicians
sometimes attend a ceremony (cut a ribbon, etc.). Then, they
might mention their favorite deity.

The leaves of the ti plant is useful as a natural food wrap. Wrap pork butt in ti leaves when slow roasting. This imparts a distinctive flavor to the meat. It tastes like it was cooked in an underground Hawaiian imu. It's just wonderful.

Next time I do a Lobos/Hawaii game I will see if one of their fans will
share some Ti leaves with me after the game.

I am thinking the results may be like banana leaves, which we sometimes
use with cinder block pit pig roasts.

I mean those leaves are just going in the trash after the game
anyway....right?

Ancient Indian incantation I was taught by a Cherokee friend to make the

I'm sure they will be happy to give you ti leaves. Especially if they win.

The Hawaiians will also cook pig on banana leaves. I forget how it's layered but banana leaves would work too when roasting pork in an oven.

It's a very powerful incantation.

That's' what I figured - buildings on the mainland did not get blessed very often. As far as churches getting blessed, I'd be surprised if a blessing ceremony was not a part of its construction most of the times.

They're a really dedicated bunch, mostly parents I guess - can't be

that team.

But yeah, I will ask for some leaves after a W.

If you believe that people that use ti leaves to cook food are special, well okay. OTOH, I'm a pretty special people. Because of me, you have learned that it's possible to cook with ti leaves. My guess is that you had no idea that ti leaves existed before I brought it up. That's pretty special, right?

We've been to a ceremony in a house where a friend was gunned down. I cannot say if that healed the house but in such a case, something has to be done to address that most awful event that occurred in the place.

Me too. Actually, I often eat no meat at all. Since I have to dine out once
a week, I usually eat meat then. Might have it once a week at home if that.

Have you added anything to this discussion? Have you taught anyone something new or has anyone been enlightened about the cultures of people in other lands? Merely feeding off of other people's comments without giving back anything in return is wholly parasitic behavior. Whatcha got to be proud of?

You're not enlightening anybody about people in other lands. You're
merely annoying everybody with your obsessed ramblings about Hawaii.
Anyway, what were you saying?
