homework 54

so i intervied my friend about her family views on death. she is a catholic. her family is very religious and goes to church every sunday. in their household, they have crosses up and even in their car to symbolize that jesus is always with them to protect them. her grandmother is the eldest in the household and she is the main one everybody gets their beliefs from. in her bedroom, she has a little shrine area full of candles and pictures to pray to before and after she wakes up everyday.

her grandma doesnt play when it come to religion and death. my friend told me that when someone dies in their family that after the funeral when they come home, they have to cover up all the mirrors for 3-5 days because in their culture they believe that when you come home, you bring the spirit with you and that is bad luck. this family is also houndourean and thats what they grew up with from Houndours. after that they then take off the blankets and sheets from the mirrors and continue to live their life.

another thing with their family i thought that was very interesting was dreams. her grandma believes that when a certain dream occurs, then that means something bad is going to happen to a person or if they have a dream about the person being a ghost or something then that means they have died. the family has a good sense when it comes to dreams what is going to happen to a person. also my friends family thinks that people die in pairs of three. so that three people you know will die around the same time, not too far apart.
