- (continued from previous page)and anyone who takes a pipe prays for the dead person.
When a person is buried his clothes are not touched for nine days. Then the nearest relation wears the clothes for three Sundays And goes to the same church as the corpse Went to, when going to mass.
Happy is the corpse that the rain rains on.
A corpse is supposed to come back to its home on the night after being buried and it is said That it can be heard walking around through the house.
Sometimes music is heard outside or inside the house Where there is a person about to die.
When a person dies the members of the family should never lay him out nor carry out the corpse because if they do The dead person’s soul will not rest.
