We invite you to participate in blessing our new initiative, Teach Asian American Stories by feeding the pig! 

Gosa is an ancient traditional Korean ceremony of wishing luck and good fortune for a new venture. An altar is set up for the gods and ancestral spirits with various foods but the main offering is a pig's head with money stuffed in its ears and mouth. In traditional folklore, the pig represents wealth and the act of placing money in the pig's mouth is to ward off misfortune and bring good luck. 

In current times, no matter what your religion or beliefs may be, this tradition has become a fun way to start new projects and businesses. Bring bills if you would like to participate!
