Description | The lady talks about how they are painting the graves of the deceased in the cemetery, and says that her mother left her educated. She also mentions the people who have religion; they no longer have interest in their grandparents. This she will never lose, to know how much time has passed to be practicing, because our children/grandchildren are going to stay and paint our graves, so she says. And the other thing she relates is that the confraternities, they went to the houses to collect corn, and went house to house because that was the custom of our grandparents. |
