Á hiến lễ

Á hiến lễ means the second offering.

In a Caodai rite, flowers, wine and tea are offered to God. Especially in a funeral, they are offered three times. A rite announcer sings out the phrase whenever an offering is presented.

• First, he sings out “Sơ hiến lễ” : meaning the first offering.
• Then, he sings out “Á hiến lễ” : meaning the second one.
• Finally, he sings out “Chung hiến lễ” : meaning the final one.
