Lesson96    The dead return

A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerful occasion, for onthis day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed bythe living. As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food islaid out for them. Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house to helpthe dead to find their way. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laid outfor the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unluckyfor anyone living to eat it. In towns that are near the sea, the tiny lanternswhich had been hung in the streets the night before, are placed into the waterwhen the festival is over. Thousands of lanterns slowlydrift out to sea guidingthe dead on their return journeyto the other world. This is a moving spectacle, for crowds of people stand on the shore watchingthe lanterns driftingaway until they can be seen no more.
