Religious holidays and ceremonies as points of remembrance of the deadUhrin, Michal (Avtor) cultural anthropologyethnologyreligious holidayremembrance of the deadAll Saints’ DayAll Souls’ DaycemeteriescommemorationSlovakiaSince the 20th century, commemorations of the dead in Slovakia have most often been associated with holidays such as Easter, Christmas, and All Saints’ Day, known as Dušičky – a triduum of festive days consisting of All Saints’ Eve on the 31 October, All Saints’ Day on 1 November, and All Souls’ Day on 2 November. This article analyses diverse practices associated with the cemetery, graves, the church, and homes conducted during this period of remembrance of the deceased. The article explores the deathscape (the material expression in the landscape of practices relating to death) of the village connected with the religious holiday, and the deathspace (the spatiality of death involving the landscape, attitudes, and habitual practices of the church, the home, and the cemetery). The article is based on field research conducted between 2023 and 2025 in a village in central Slovakia with a predominantly Roman Catholic Slovak population.20262026-03-31 15:13:53Neznano181305sl
