After the death of a loved one, many people perform a ritual: they put a glass of water or a shot of vodka on the memorial table. A piece of bread is placed on the container.
All this is left for the deceased.
And many people make a mistake: they place the container next to the portrait of the deceased.
If you believe in folk beliefs, then this action is wrong.
Why you can't put a glass next to a photo of a deceased person
According to popular belief, such a mistake can lead to evil spirits coming for the “treat”.
But the soul of the deceased will definitely not get any better.
How to perform the ritual
The glass and bread should not be left near the portrait of the deceased. It is better to leave them on a surface where there is nothing else.
In 40 days the liquid will most likely evaporate completely. If this does not happen, it should be poured under a tree.
A piece of baked goods should be reduced to crumbs. Such food should be left for the birds.
You should never drink water or vodka left for the deceased. You should also not eat a piece of bread.
It is also worth emphasizing that the ritual is not mandatory. And Christians need to understand that the ritual has pagan roots.
