The Santa Muerte is not known in these parts :)<BR/><BR/>@Rita, <BR/><BR/>I totally agree. The grave next to my grandfather's is overgrown with weeds and the lettering has been so obscured that one could not even make out the name of the deceased anymore. It was a profoundly sad sight to behold.Archistrategoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495771160792293715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28475889.post-43701468426421199802008-10-31T13:33:00.000+08:002008-10-31T13:33:00.000+08:00A ghost?Heaven forfend.I'll be going off to the ce...A ghost?<BR/>Heaven forfend.<BR/><BR/>I'll be going off to the cemetery this Sunday to visit my grandfather as well. <BR/><BR/>Do they still pour food in the graves in the Philippines?

Besides, my blood relatives aren't Catholic, they're not even pagans, at least pagans have rituals...the dead mean so little to the living in my clan. I have to draw up my own remembrance and celebrate it alone.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120333351409730480noreply@blogger.com
