Has this been tried somewhere then?
What we don’t have in this country (with the exception of well dressing perhaps) is an unbroken tradition of ‘outdoor’ offerings, and the care and responsibility that comes with such a tradition. Visitors to other countries (especially non-Western countries) often find that there is a tradition there and that it is almost always well managed. There’s a bit here about the Votive offerings and Dondo Yaki tradition in Japan if anyone’s interested.
