大士王(鬼王)負責陰間秩序,是觀音的化身,因此大士王像的胸前有一尊真身觀音像。
在燒鬼王前,先請觀音。

六壯士手執長棍,準備就緒打鬼王。


燒鬼王前先用棍打,是中區卅間盂蘭勝會的特色,據聞此舉是不讓鬼王的肉身留戀人間。

大火燒得竹條劈啪作響。

燒大士王後,陰差、金銀衣紙、大士袍、附薦靈位等陸續拿去燒。

從高處解下大士冠。





此時可以走近一點看看有甚麼祭品。
















職員請我吃了一塊燒肉,在此謝過。

解下花燈。




正在清場,馬不停蹄。



其他祭物取回,雞、鴨和熟蛋倒在蓆上。近年沒有人要,因此最後當垃圾丟掉。

大家合力撕碎墊著佛手包的大包(有名堂,忘了),是一種獻祭。





祭物裡的日常用品,算盤或許是早給大會收回,其他諸如鉛筆、墨汁、萬字夾、牙刷、漱口盅、七姐粉、舊式髮乳、肥皂盒、衣夾、縫線、牙籤等等……可隨意挑選,討個意頭,但不要盡取。
聽馬仔說,O七年那一屆他看到幾個婦人急不及待在奪寶,今年卻可以慢慢精挑細選,畢竟時代不同了。
街坊請我過來選,拾了一袋。


正式完結。
