Chinese Indonesian children washes his mother's feet ahead of the Cap Go Meh festival, marking the end of Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations at Dhanagun temple in Bogor, West Java province, Indonesia, January 29, 2023. Chinese Indonesians have begun teaching children to wash their mother's feet to express their gratitude. ''Washing parents'' feet has been a Chinese tradition for thousands of years. People should respect diversity in the way others celebrate (the Mother's Day holiday). This event becomes a symbol to remind children about all the good deeds and sacrifices of their mothers for the rest of their lives, until they become adults, maybe even until their mother leaves this world.
