FUNERAL RITUALS AND THE CULT OF ANCESTORS OR REMEMBRANCE OF THE DEAD: THE MIDDLE
WAY (PROBES INTO SELECTED BIBLICAL TEXTS)
Abstract: We‘re trying to discover the three basic phases of transition in the ritual of the funeral.
The first stage is the separation, the second transition, the third new integration. These stages we
are exploring in the case submitted to ancient texts. The biblical texts, we focus on the celebration
the dead ancestors. Methods: descriptions, comparison.
Keywords: rites of passages; cult of the dead; Biblical Israel; feast, prophetic critique; Psalm 23
