『やっさいほっさい祭 2023』師走の激アツ火祭り #石津太神社(堺市) 2023年12月14日 #まとめ
The Yassai Hossai Festival is held every December 14th at Ishizuta Shrine in Nishi Ward, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture.A long time ago fishermen burned firewood to collect the Ebisu God that had washed up on Ishizu Beach. According to the legend that a fisherman burned
108 bundles of firewood to warm the god Ebisu, at 8pm, when 108 bundles of firewood are prepared in the shrine grounds, the firewood ritual is held at 8pm. The ceremony of lighting the firewood begins.The firewood that has been prepared is lit.As the
Firewood goes around and is lit, in the blink of an eye, a large piece of firewood comes out and the firewood catches fire Young people participating in the festival ran around the fire shouting “Yassai, Hossai!”
Three minutes after the fire was lit, the wood had burned considerably, and the surrounding area was covered in flames. The flames get so hot that it seems like they’re going up to the sky.When you see flames like this, you can’t help but want to play with fire…?
Six minutes had passed since the flames started, and the flames had become extremely hot, making it difficult for the young people running around them About 10 minutes had passed since the fire was lit, promising a bountiful catch next year, as the burning firewood collapsed toward the west sea,
And as one would expect, the huge flame that had been there before gradually became smaller. Then in preparation for the firewalking ritual, sticks are inserted into the unburned firewood to create a path.Once the path has been made through the burnt firewood, the priest is brought in and performs the firewalking ritual.
Although the flames of the pyres where prayers are being held have died down, there is still a lot of heat emitting from the fire, and it is quite a stage that tests courage and courage. Ebisu is carried in front of the firewood, and
As if warming it with firewood, the fire-walking ritual involves kicking the firewood away with his feet as if to warm him.Then, once he leaves the shrine, he walks around the shrine three times. After circling around the shrine, the Ebisu god was carried again and returned.After
That, festival officials and general participants continued to cross over, running over the still-burning firewood. Even if you watch from a distance, you can still feel the heat. In front of the torii gate, people celebrate the successful completion of the fire-walking ritual, and
In the back, firewood is doused with water to extinguish the fire. In front of the Iku -honden shrine, “Oae” (shirawae), which had been offered to the god, is served, and it is said that if you eat it, you will not catch a cold for the next year.The `
`Ebisu God”, which is enshrined at Ishizuta Shrine, is lit with firewood. The charcoal is said to bring blessings, and many people take it home.
