Japanese ancestor veneration  

Definición

  • In attempting to make sense of death and human experience, many societies have drawn on a discourse that emphasizes the sacred nature of family ties. Such a discourse encompasses beliefs, norms, understandings, and practices that foster continuing relationships between the living and the dead, in which the dead retain an active social presence in the lives of the living.
