Joss Paper in History and Modern Use

Joss paper and Joss paper objects are used as a symbol of transformation, for fertility, and are payments of spiritual debts. The long-standing use of Joss paper is common in various Asian religious belief systems. Traditionally Joss paper was made from coarse bamboo paper, today it is often made from rice paper. It is typically cut into squares or rectangles. The decor on the paper; including stamps, symbols, embossing and more, often depends heavily upon the region in which the paper is made and can also indicate what the purpose the paper is intended for.

Saint Anne

In the East, she is celebrated on the Sunday before the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, September 8th. 

Her day of the week is Monday & her primary color is white, although many associate yellow and green with her as well.

Saint Philomena’s candle color is green, pink or light blue. Her offerings include sweet cakes, pink cakes, pink lemonade, candies, sweet drinks, colas, toys, red and white braided ropes, pink flowers (lots & lots of flowers!), lilies, perfumes (especially anais anais perfume), make-up, pastel silks, glitter, rosaries, pastel-colored jewelry, marshmallows and French pastries.

Her emblems are anchors, palms, lilies, and arrows. Her day of the week is Saturday.

Saint Jude

Saint Jude’s Day of the week is Sunday, his emblem is a medal & a staff, his colors are green, red and white.

He prefers offerings of small items either one at a time or in groups of three. It is said that St. Jude's favorite offerings are water, candles, incense, coins, and flowers.
