Jesa functions as a  memorial  to the ancestors  on the day of the ancestor's death every year. In my family we have several times Jesa for my grand parents and grand-grand-parents.  In the early 20 century my grand-grand-father had 2 grand mothers therefore we have totally 5 times ceremony to memorize the ancestors.  To prepare the meals for Jesa, my mom and my wife give their effort with family members.  We offer food, fruits, and wine, and finally make bows in front of the grand-parents spirit, all together.

There are tons of different styles based on various regions and recipes. Some kimchis are even not spicy, just white one with water.
