From 5th to 7th January every year, the Sechi Festival lively takes place in Jiba, which is an annual event sponsored by Church Headquarters to serve zoni, a special New Year’s soup containing rice cakes that had been offered to God the Parent at the New Year’s Day Service, to those who returned to Jiba for their new year greetings to God the Parent and Oyasama.
In parallel with this event, the “Sechi Festival Students Hinokishin Corps” was orgnised this year once again, and Mr. Yonehiro Masuno, a high school student sent by Church Headquarters to Australia to live in Brisbane participated in the Corps. All of them enjoyed engaging in hinokishin as a server or a guide, together with hundreds of students gathering from throughout the country.
