For the well being of the valley .. White Stone Memorial Ceremony of Baekseok

A hundred years old tradition, Baekseok-dong’s White stone memorial ceremony has been protecting the well-being of the village and has served as spiritual support for the village developed through unity and harmony of the people.

This memorial ceremony is held by the White stone preservation committee in lunar year March annually with the people of Beakseok-dong to preserve the folk culture of “White Stone” and wish the everlasting development of the valley.

This ceremony has been continued for the preservation of white stones and for the well being and prosper of the valley. However since last year, affected by the split of Baekseok-dong, preservation has become unclear and Baekseok-dong Committee has been in charge of the event, trying to attain tradition by anointing this as a local cultural asset.
