684. BELARUS
DZIADY (Forefathers) Budzma Belarusami! campaign knows that Day of the Dead is marked in some form or other all around the world. However, Belarusians follow a very archaic ritual. Prone to mysticism, the poet Adam Mickievic was so inspired by this ancient Slavic feast that he wrote a poetic drama under the same name. On Dziady day, people serve a commemorative meal, to which they invite the souls of male ancestors, or forefathers (or dziady) by opening the windows wide. Whatever food is available in the cellar (or nowadays, the fridge), everything is cooked for the feast. The living family members of the table are allowed to eat only three dishes and drink three shots of alcohol. Afterwards, everyone recalls the most interesting family stories. In the morning after Dziady, the left-overs of the evening meal are believed to be eaten by "grandmothers" - the souls of female ancestors. Probably for the sake of gender balance?
