Decorate the dead day.

Last week was a national holiday, decorate the dead day, to remember loved ones who have died.  It is tradition to go to their grave site to tidy/fix it and remember them.

I went with a friend and his family to grave the of his brother.  They cleared the grave of weeds, fixed it with new cement and painted it.




As you can see form the photos the graveyard is not exactly orderly....it can be quite a job to even find the grave.  

It was an interesting experience to see how Liberians celebrate the dead, lots of people, lots of noise, people selling water and snacks, hot and chaotic....typically Liberian!
