Easter for the Dead

Monday, April 23rd

On Monday, my host family and I went to the cemetery in the village and brought bread and other food to put on the graves of  dead relatives. Friends of my host father stopped by and my host father gave them food and wine. After a little while the priest came by and shook holy water on my host family with a stick of sorts. I at some food that the people next to us offered. There were fruit shish kabobs, sausage, cheese, and wine. it seemed like most of the village was in the cemetery when we were. I saw a lot of my students there. The weather was nice so it was nice to be outside. Tomorrow, school resumes again.
