According to the traditions of the Chinese-Timorese community, at New Year a “Shambaya” ritual is performed at home. The ritual is performed four times to honour and pray to God, the ancestors, the spirits of the land and for the New Year. Those participating in the ritual give thanks and ask for blessings for good health for their family members.
