korean: 100 day celebration (baek-il )
Similar to the Tol, the Baek-il event has two aspects:

  • First, family members give thanks to Samsin (the three gods who take care of
    the baby's life while growing up).

  • Second, they pray for jae-ak (wealth), longevity, and cho-bok (original luck).

The food is different from the extensive table prepared for the Tol, mostly comprising 4
types of Korean foods: baekseogi (for longevity, representing cleanliness and
freshness), susupo-ttteok (to prohibit bad things), injeolmi (for patience), and
songpyeon (for thought).
