The Minorcan honor the memory of the saints and the dead
The cemeteries of the island were filled with flowers and prayers
Lb, Ciutadella
The clear day, despite the wind, yesterday contributed to a lively celebration of the Feast of All Saints. The cemeteries on the island, liming and clean, filled with flowers, candles and lit candles to honor the memory of the saints and the dead. One more year, the Minorcan Catholic perpetuated the family tradition of visiting loved ones in the graveyard.
The day passed off without incident, with the influx, especially in the morning, the cemeteries in all localities of the island. The visit served to pray for the families and loved deceased relatives to keep his memory alive, more present than ever in the festival held yesterday with roots.
The florists have increased their sales these days, despite the impact of the crisis. Have been sold chrysanthemums, roses, carnations and all sorts of flowers and floral decorations in memory of the deceased. The flowers symbolized, in an autumn day like yesterday, the message of life and hope. In the Catholic belief that death does not remember is the last word, that life and the Resurrection are beyond existence.
