And also made me think ...This was very interesting!<br />And also made me think of other European (bettr to say, Slavic and Hungarian) traditions connected to crossroads. What our people believed for centuries is this: if somebody dies without sanctities given to him, if one dies denouncing God, if one dies being the seventh son of a seventh son, if one dies while excommunicated (and so on and so forth, MANY versions appear), this person should not be buried in saint earth, so, excluded from cemeteries, these folks were often buried in roadside ditches, or, more often, at crossroads. The belief was that people who die in these manners will become vampires and if they are buried at a crossroad, when waking up, they will not find their way back home to torment the living in their former homes.Dirgesingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012771828959348766noreply@blogger.com
