Remembering the deceased, My grandmother's ritual 🕯 ❤️🕯 Recordando a los difuntos, El ritual de mi abuela
Day of the Dead Ritual
Hello my Silver Bloggers friends, I hope you find yourselves adding experiences to the rest of your lives 😬
Today the 2nd of November marks the day of the faithful departed, which is a religious holiday within the Catholic church. It aims to honor and pray to ancestors, relatives, and friends who are no longer among the living, some rituals are performed to ask for their eternal rest and also for their sins to be forgiven, and for those who are still lost (in purgatory or as ghosts) to find their way to the light. People go to the cemeteries to clean the graves and lay flowers, this is done in my country.
This day brings back memories of my childhood with my grandmother Ana Teodocia, she is still alive she is 91 years old, and she used to talk with their dead on a day like today November 2nd.
My grandmother would buy many candles and at night she would choose a part of the courtyard of the house to pray, she would kneel and light each candle and say this is for my mother and mention her name and surname, she would talk to her for a while, she would tell her how her life was going and how much she missed her, then she repeated the process with each relative she remembered, mother, father, a brother, uncle, cousins and for you to count, even friends.
I was behind her in everything she did, I was fascinated to see her in her spiritual side because my grandmother had a very tough stance and to see her doing that made me feel that she was sensitive. I also found it exciting to know that after a person dies they could hear us 😆 that was my conclusion when I saw my grandmother talking to the dead.
Once I asked her why she did that and she told me that God permitted the deceased to come down to pick up their candles. 😂 I then associated the candles as if it was a gift for the deceased. As my grandmother got older she lost this custom, I imagine at the same time as her memory. In the end, the most important thing is to remember who we are.
Of the things I learned from my grandmother I didn't repeat this one, but I didn't rule it out completely, maybe the day will come when I will need to talk to a close relative and turn on a light that will illuminate love.
Ritual del Día de los Muertos
Hola mis amigos Silver Bloggers deseo que se encuentren sumando experiencias al resto de sus vidas 😬
Hoy 2 de noviembre se conmemora el día de los fieles difuntos, que es un festejo religioso dentro de la iglesia católica. Su objetivo es honrar y orar a los antepasados, familiares y amigos que ya no están entre los vivos, se hacen algunos rituales para pedir por su descanso eterno y también para que les sean perdonados sus pecados y los que aún estén perdidos (en el purgatorio o como fantasmas) encuentren el camino hacia la luz. Las personas acuden a los cementerios a limpiar las tumbas y poner flores, esto lo hacen en mi país.
Este día me trae recuerdos de mi infancia con mi abuela Ana Teodocia, ella aun vive tiene 91 años, ella solía conversar con sus muertos un día como hoy 02 de noviembre.
Mi abuela compraba muchos velones y en la noche escogía una parte del patio de la casa para orar, se arrodillaba y encendida cada velón y decía esta es para mi mamá y la mencionaba con nombre y apellido, conversaba un rato con ella, le contaba cómo iba su vida y lo que la extrañaba, luego repetida el proceso con cada familiar que ella recordaba, mamá, papá, algún hermano, tío, primos y para usted de contar incluso hasta amigos.
Yo me la pasaba detrás de ella en todo lo que hacía, me fascinaba verla en su parte espiritual porque mi abuela tenía una postura muy dura y verla haciendo eso me hacía sentir que era sensible. También me parecía emocionante saber que después que una persona muere podía escucharnos 😆 esa era mi conclusión al ver a mi abuela hablando con los muertos.
Una vez le pregunté por qué hacía eso y ella me dijo que Dios daba permiso para que los difuntos bajaran a recoger sus velas. 😂 Entonces asocié los velones como si fuera un regalo para los difuntos. En la medida que mi abuela envejeció perdió esta costumbre, me imagino que al mismo tiempo que su memoria. Al final lo más importante es recordar quien somos.
De las cosas que aprendí de mi abuela esta no la repetí, pero no lo descartó del todo, tal vez llegue el día en que necesite hablar con algún familiar cercano y prenda una luz que ilumine el amor.

Your grandmother with her cultural load and her feminine lineage is a deep and evident example of what she is.
It is the recognition she makes to others who have been disincarnated according to her beliefs and what she shows from the highest energy, LOVE.
Beautiful and respected her ritual, the perfect code for her Quantum Self.
Receive my embrace of light, Ana Maria.

Amiga, me encantó ese ritual, es muy lindo y además personalizado, no como yo que prendo una sola vela para todos, y a veces mi cabeza loca piensa que bajan a pelear por la luz.
De hablar, eso no lo he intentado salvo con mi papá, a quien le pregunto cosas a veces
😂🤣🤣 Bueno mi abuela no en eso era muy generosa, vela para todo el mundo.
Aunque yo crecí viendo eso, no lo practico porque no me gusta molestarlos, donde quiera que están deben estar ocupados, sin embargo si yo estuviera en tu posición también hablaría con mis padres.

Thank you very much, remembering my childhood and sharing it in the community is a pleasure. Thank you @hive-106316 @tengolotodo
It is fascinating what people do on The Day of The Day, in the UK we don't really do this.
Thank you for joining in with the prompt😃
And in the UK they do nothing? 🤔☺️
Your grandmother must have used a lot of candles.
Is the tradition as popular now as it was when you were a young girl?
Yes, many candles, and every year there were more and more of them.
Then it stopped, but I think it was because of the cost of the candles. Today he has a senile memory but he remembers his parents' full names.
Happy day, thank you @tengolotodo
ah okay, well that makes sense.
As you get older there will be many candles to light, nice day to remember those who went before.

😅☺️ Thank you, I guess that will be the case. @joanstewart 🤗
A lovely blog. Are there any more of this generation who believed so completely? My mother had callouses on her knees from praying quietly, and in private. Every night when I was a child, we appended to our prayers a list of those remembered. That list grew longer as time went on.
And yes, she would talk to those who had passed on, though she did so with little ceremony.
Sharing beliefs always brings people closer, especially if they are our loved ones, I'm glad it brought back such a beautiful memory.
Thank you for your nice comment, greetings. @agmoore 🥰🤗
