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?

1. No, in my house we do not make offerings. Although I wish we had that custom. 2. I think that souls visit us because there are different signs that they leave us or at least that's what I read. 3. In my house we do not practice it but my family has many photos of deceased relatives and they pray every night for them.

ReplyDeleteNot in my house, but it is always customary for the whole family to gather at my grandmother's house. The truth is that I do believe that souls visit us. Because when you pray around the table it feels like an embracing warmth. My family says goodbye to souls through prayers in the cemetery
