100 days


Noah celebrated his Baek-il at Harabujee and Halmoni's home. The Baek-il celebrates the 100 days after a baby's birth. The number 100 has an inherent meaning of maturity and perfection. Family brought presents and wished Noah good health and blessings. We had two types of rice cakes prepared: baekseolgi (steamed rice cake) and bulkunp'at gomul (red bean rice cake). The steamed rice cake is shown in the picture and has the symbolic meaning of holiness whereas the red bean cake expels evil spirits that may block good fortune. Will Noah appreciate all of these things that we do when he gets older???
