Purification Ceremony at a Shinto Shrine



The most important Shinto event takes place in the New Year, when millions of people visit shrines to pray for happiness and a healthy year. People toss coins of offering money into the box and pray to the gods in front of the altar while Shinto priests perform a brief purification ceremony. These photos were taken at Yatsushiro Shinto Shrine on the morning of January 1.
