THE SERBIANS HIDE THE FOOD TO CRAFTSMEN WHERE THEY ARE FAT! And when you hear the attitude of the church on this issue, you will understand why they are wrong! | New

And for hunters, but also for other days, it is not a rare phenomenon that believers in burial places prepare food and drink.

"We want to feed the souls of ancestors.It is believed that people are so alive and dead together and do not deny the closest ones who died in the most basic way," says ethnologist Vesna Marjanovic.

Sometimes in urban areas, food and beverages are not delivered to the cemetery, but this practice has also occurred in migration towns of the population.

How does the church view all this?

"It's a pagan custom, not a Christian custom," says Stojadin Pavlovic, director of the office of patriarchal administration, but adds that it will be difficult to change the custom in the country as it " listen to two women from neighborhoods rather than clergy "and orders them colleagues to respond to these counterfeits.

"Religion does not provide food to the cemetery, the church has no mechanism to defend it, but it can advise and recommend," he says, adding that the soul does not nourish the food as well as the body, so that the deceased can not "feed".

"A lot of people do not bring large amounts of food, but symbolic quantities," he said, adding that it was going in the right direction, in the sense that this custom would be eradicated.

Grain, wine and candles – that's what priests recommend to believers to prepare for heaven.
