Traditional Slavonic burial combined
a lot of rituals to give honor to the defunct and to repel the Death.
World-weary antediluvians bided farewell with all elements, with their
spiritual protectors. When somebody died at home his relatives disassembled
a piece of roof let the soul to fly away. When a gently born unattached
man died, a lass optional went with him into a grave. She trusted
the happy hunting-ground with a noble husband.
