November 1st
Every year on November 1st thousands of people come to the cemeteries to remember and pay tribute to their own. After cleaning the cold faces of the marbled graves and the jars adorned with season flowers and plants, the lit candles and prayers complete the ritual of remembrance and deference. The bleak and nostalgic countenance of those who revive is revealed in the silence and stillness of those who are revived. In the solemnity of those who are no longer, the wings and alleyways earn ephemerally another life.
