"Filipino" Halloween - Horror and warm
Less than a week, it is Halloween in the Philippines.
So what does Philippine Halloween look like?
Halloween For Filipino , which is deeply influenced by Catholic culture and attaches importance to family traditions, it is actually closer to China's "Qingming Festival + Zhongyuan Festival + New Year's Eve" complex.
So, in addition to pretending to be a ghost and eating candy, Filipinos have another very important task in these (several) days - "Discuss the old days with their ancestors" .
"Filipino Halloween" foreplay, which lasts for a week,
Like Christmas, Filipino Halloween is not just October 31, but it is necessary to start preparing for it a week ago. In this week, the brooms will start cleaning the graves of their ancestors : such as cleaning the floor, repainting, removing weeds in front of the grave, etc. In addition, we will also start preparing candles, flowers, snacks and other items. Everything will be ready before midnight on October 31, with the purpose of preparing to welcome "a large number of guests to visit." During this period, the airport and major transportation roads have the potential to burst into explosions :
Because this festival is their important return home, workers who drift to the capital Manila or overseas are very likely to choose during this period to return to their hometown to reunite with their families - . Usually the most stuffy day is October 31. If you live in the capital area, please automatically multiply the commuting time required during this period by 2.
However, after the traffic jam, Manila will enter a very rare "traffic clearance period" in the year.
Grave camping party
After the previous preparation, it finally came late at night on October 31st and early morning on November 1st - in the Philippines, is called "All-saints Day" or undas . On this day, a large proportion of Filipinos will prepare camping supplies and bring them to their ancestors’ graves. What should I do with
?
This is actually their important custom from Halloween to All Saints: Just like Jay Chou sang in the song "Grandma": "She wants company, not 600 yuan..."; And Filipinos have truly achieved company.
You will definitely think: What, camping in a cemetery? ! It's too boring (terrible)!
actually doesn't know anything at all.The "grave camping" of the Binbins can be said to be very exciting: You can call it a "grave party", and they will prepare a lot of food, drink and play to spend this holiday.
In addition to relatives and friends gathering together to drink beer and chat about right and wrong, playing cards, board games, etc. are basic models, many people also bring their own generators, audio equipment , etc., and play music on the spot. Some people even prepare karaoke machine , and sing the Filipino version of "Love when Dead" ten times; if you are a young man who is updated, you may even bring it directly to the PS4 and the screen, and play "The Tomb Sword" in front of the grave.
Of course, it is impossible for the living to eat, drink and have fun. The guest will also place the deceased's favorite dishes for their lives in front of the grave to "join the grand event together".
I personally think this way of celebrating the festival is quite warm.
In response to the large number of catering needs, many hawker stalls will also appear next to the cemetery, so there is no need to worry about food replenishment.
Although the official cemetery party date is from 0:00 on November 1, during this holiday, there are always constant grave camping areas in the Philippines - some people come earlier (10/31), and some people come later (11/2). In short, this is definitely the "heaviest" days in the cemeteries of all sizes in the Philippines.
It is worth noting that after the party preparation is over on November 2, there will be a large wave of rework - so, please expect the road will be full again.
Philippine Halloween, have you experienced it?
