Cambios

Remembering the dead was also expressed in daily circumstances as the souls were always present in everyday life. The household prayers usually included the dead of the household, the souls in purgatory and if that was the case, the person who had died on that very day.

It used to be common to take candles and bread to the burial site inside the church. Offerings of that nature were subsequently no longer used or, in some places, were taken, at least as far as the lights were concerned, to the real graves in the cemetery, and were later replaced by flowers. They have therefore undergone a parallel evolution to the one experienced by the offerings during the funeral and on the dates after it.
