Sart Day
The food offered for the Sart rite is called krayasart prepared from sticky rice, bean, sugar and sesame which is cooked into a paste and then wrapped in a banana leaf. The krayasart is then taken to the a Buddhist temple to be offered to the monks, the rite being complete when libation water is poured as the monks chant the Dedication of the Transference of Merit. This merit dedication is to benefit all spirits, especially those deceased relatives who are still in the realm of the spirits, so that they have food and water during their transition and that the merit derived from this kind act of sharing assists them to move toward favorable rebirth.
