Что вас удивило по приезду в Ирландию

[Ika]

Надо тогда сразу определение этого самого "налета"))

[Lee]

Я бы выбрала общительные, веселые, простые.

В общем, без разбора отдельных случаев.

Ну это то, что есть у образованных французов, итальянцев, немцев, испанцев.

Деревенские, простодушные и любители выпить.

Ну и я тоже. Мне кажется они более цивилизованные, чем ирландцы в силу хотя бы большего распространения образования.

Ну тема витает в воздухе, немного традиций,очень похожи и на наши.
Irish Superstitions surrounding death'..

""When someone dies you should close the curtains because should a moonbeam shine through the window onto the corpse then the devil sends his demons down it to steal the soul".

"You must stop all the clocks at the time of death to confuse the devil and give the soul time to reach heaven".

"In Ireland the dead are carried out of the house feet first in order to prevent the spirit from looking back into the house and beckoning another member of the family to follow him/her".

"Family photographs were turned faced down to prevent any of the close relatives and friends of the deceased from being possessed by the spirit of the dead".

"Cover all the mirrors in the house at the time of death or the soul will be trapped within the mirror".

"If you smell roses when none are around then someone is going to die".

"The souls of the dead who happen to die abroad greatly desire to rest in Ireland. The relations consider it their duty to bring back the body to be laid to rest in Irish earth. However, even then the dead will not rest in peace unless laid with their forefathers and their own people and not among strangers".

"The custom of placing candles on or around the coffin comes from the belief that you were lighting the way to paradise for the corpse. This continued as you walked the coffin to its final resting place. The tradition of walking slowly behind or on either side of the coffin came about because you walked slowly so the candles wouldn’t blow out".

"In Ireland we hold a wake for someone who has died and one suggestion for this was said to be because of the after effects of poteen. It was said that people didn’t know if those who were lay as if dead were just unconscious or were actually dead so they used to wait up at night for them to wake up, hence the name'.

"Also it was called a wake because of the frequent lead poisoning suffered by people drinking from pewter tankards". "One of the symptoms of lead poisoning is that of a catatonic state that resembles death from which you would hopefully recover in anything from a few hours to a couple of days. It was for this reason that a burial was delayed to give the poor unfortunate a chance to wake up".
