Candle evenings Vērēmu parish graveyard

There are quiet places where our fellow people, who have traveled a shorter or longer way of life, find their own home. This quiet home is called a cemetery.

Every autumn, when the field works are made, the gardens and the cleanliness are harvested, the time of the Deep Day is due. Soruden Vērēmu parish administration and the People's House also organized a candle afternoon in seven parish parishes. Quiet, autumn, sunlight Saturday and Sunday afternoon, which had been prayed for the dead.

The cemetery was cleaned, the people burned on their belongings. The moments of the memorial were scattered by flute sounds, the mystery of the spiritual singing of the folklore “Vorpa”, and the narrative of the life of the man in the sun. Sounding fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters, the memorial of grandparents' lives... Each of them, in silence, reminded them of their departed people, was late in memories. Just now knowing how much we miss my father, my grandfather's weary advice... mother, my grandmother's warm caress, or my brother's shoulder. But the candles flashing, the graves are silent, only to hear the wind in the trees, the better the trees can't comfort us.

Peace of God for the souls of our families!

Thank you sincerely FOR Vērēmu parish administration, flutistei Lolitai Otis, leader of the People's House Sarmite Strupovich, the folklore's “Vorpa” singer, driver Juris.
