Icemoon SG ben and brey live in predominantly ang moh country .. maybe they should tell us what happens when a member of their church joins the Lord. Like got wake or not.
laurence82 SG When my Christian friend's dad passed away due to cancer, they held a wake, but got prayer sessions..
Icemoon SG Actually what is a prayer session? Opps .. I only know memorial service .. we call it zui1 si1 li3 bai4 in mandarin.
laurence82 SG I never attend tho Just come together and pray lor For my grandma's funeral, a Catholic priest and some friends of my aunt also come, but I dont know what you call it. They just pray and sing hymns.
ben1xy SG all the Teochew stuff that i attend, their prayers and hymns all sound like chanting very soothing though i was quite taken aback at first
ben1xy SG during mass it will be in church for the ang mo countries ...before the memorial service ... i dun really know. nv really thought abt it too.
laurence82 SG I think they sang in Latin, because its definitely not in English or local dialects something abt ave maria?
