Our local temple Wat Greensboro held Thot Kathin on Sunday October 27th. It is one of the biggest events at our local temple where Buddhist worshipers offered gifts, foods and yellow ropes to the monks.
In order for our temple to Thot Kathin there has to be a minimal of 5 monks and Wat Greensboro only has a monk and a novice monk. The temple invited monks from nearby Wat to perform the Kathin Ceremony.

P’Odd was one of the photographers at the event.
The black and white image of Morning alms giving does take you back in time. The orange canvas above castes an orange color on people’s faces and my only solution was to convert the photo to black and white.
Food offering to the monks
The temple prepared foods for us this time.
The parade around the temple ground was festive, if you have time do checkout the video above.
I was busy photographing the event, photo below was taken by P’Odd.
