Interesting, very different from our western graves.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that I know is that white is the color of mourning.
ReplyDeleteAndy, you look a few bubbles out of plumb today.
ReplyDeleteOoooh how interesting, I had no idea! A big headstone, someone had a lot to say!!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting tradition. I've never seen fruit left at a grave before.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and practice other cultures honour as well. We do a bit of it on Memorial Day and other holidays but nothing quote like this.
ReplyDeleteOne wonders what happens to the fruit.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know about the food offerings, but not sure about the pieces of duct tape on the grave stone. Or is that something else? Did they discover that someone did not die?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that, Andy!
ReplyDeleteNeat shot Andy and nice to see some respect in the world....
ReplyDeleteI'm curious: are those little metal strips on the gravestone? It looks almost like duct tape.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that. Very interesting.
