CULTURE
DAY OF THE “FIELES DIFUNTOS”
It is the 1stand 2nd of November…
The tradition of the family of Jujuy is to wait for the souls:
First, the family bakes the salty ,sweet and differently shaped bread, this bread is called “Ofrendas” .
The table is prepared by the hole family. In the table you can find “Ofrendas” , candles , drinks, sweets ,flowers and photographs of the dead members of the family .
The family remembers the souls of the loving ones and pray . The souls have fun or play all night .Other family members and friends visit the house . The family prepares food for the souls . Some people prepare lunch around the “Ofrendas” table .
The family proceeds to say goodbye to the souls . The family takes the “ofrendas out of the table . The family shares everything that is on the table. On November 2nd the souls say goodbye up to next year .
DO YOU MAKE “OFRENDAS” IN YOUR HOUSE?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SOULS VISIT US? WHY? WHY NOT?
HOW DO YOUR FAMILY SAY GOODBAY THE SOULS?
