Dialogues with the Dead – 52

From the story ‘Svans in Georgia’

Series started last All Saints Day. In Western culture All Saints Day is traditionally a time to remember the deceased. As it turns out I seem to have quite a few pictures relating to funerals and rituals related to the deceased. In the following posts I will take you to different parts of the world on a not necessarily morbid journey…

GEORGIA. Ushguli (Svanetia). 20/07/2000: Veal slaughtered for the guests meal at “Ormotsi”, commemorating 40th day of mourning  100 yr old Mr Mosse Nigaradze.
