2 | is eating on graves a sin ? | Bible general | EdB | 242641 | ||
As a child I was taught that as a sign of respect to never walk, or get on an actual grave. To this day I go out of my way to avoid showing disrespect to a grave by getting on it. As a pastor and having done many funerals I am amazed at how many people have never had similar training and walk all over graves. If you want to lunch near a grave of someone I see no problem with that, but I think to show respect to that person and all others buried there you should be careful not to do so on an actual grave. |

Dear Ed, When I was a young lad, we would occasionally visit the graves of some of the family who had passed. I remember quite clearly getting my ears boxed for walking on a grave. It was quite confusing for a little guy, because the demarcation around graves is often not so obvious. Years later I asked my mother why we avoided walking on graves. She told me that she didn't know; but that every time she did as a little girl her mother would hit her. :-) Years later I found out that it was something to be avoided for very practical reasons. Apparently it was not uncommon for the grave to collapse. I have to admit, though, that your reasons make a lot more sense. After all, we know that the bodies of the dead will one day be resurrected. Thus, the body, a gift from God, is to be cared for in a proper and dignified manner. Thank you for your comments. In Him, Doc |
