Bridging Worlds: The Land of the Living and the Land of the Dead
500 25th Street at Green-wood Cemetery
Time: 12pm
Price: $10
How do the dead find their way to the next life? Who directs them on their journey? And when they arrive, can they establish a connection to those left behind? Across time, and around the globe, people have imagined that the dead might live on in another, imperceptible world. The worlds of the living and of the dead, however distinct and distant they may be, could theoretically be bridged, through individuals such as psychopomps (from Greek, meaning a “guide of souls”) like Anubis, Azrael, or Hermes, or by performing rituals such as ancestor worship, sacrificial offerings, or prayer. In Buddhist and Taoist traditions, for example, Yu Lan (the “Hungry Ghost Festival”) is a celebratory homecoming for the souls of the departed. Families honor the dead through specially prepared meals and by burning paper replicas of money, cellphones, clothing, and other material possessions for their ancestors to enjoy in the afterlife.
