Never bring things from the cemetery to your home, even if it is someone's weighty wallet found among the graves. And never chase the cat away, even if it is lying right on the grave. On the contrary, cats in a cemetery should be fed and stroked whenever possible
In Russia since cemetery a huge number of signs, prohibitions and customs are associated, no other place in a person's life has the same amount.
Everything is affected: from how to dress correctly for funerals and memorable days, to what flowers are needed for the grave and what trees can be planted next to it.
Some of these customs are very widespread in Russia, for example that the deceased must be sure to bring an even number of flowers or that they must be commemorated with bread and vodka. Others are known only in some regions. Below we list some of the most common.
It is believed that leaving the cemetery must necessarily be the same way as you came. This is a very ancient custom, and now it is very difficult to say where it came from. Maybe this is due to the sign that if you wander between the graves for a long time in the cemetery, you will stumble upon lost souls and the meeting will not end well.
The fact is that lost souls are usually the souls of suicides or those who died a violent death. They are confused, embittered and can be aggressive. Therefore, in the cemetery, in general, walks for the sake of curiosity are not approved, which are frequent where there are many graves of famous people.
Another sign obliges you to enter through the main entrance of the cemetery only if you are going to a funeral, and if you visit the graves of your relatives or friends, you must go through some side entrance. You must leave the cemetery without turning around and never come at sunset.
You should never come empty-handed. If you were unable to take the flowers, then you should have at least candy, cookies, a sandwich, or at least a bottle of water. This should be left on the grave.
In this regard, there is another rare sign that if you dropped some small thing in the cemetery that is not so important to you, then it is better not to pick it up, but leave it where it fell. The same goes for items found in the cemetery, including money, never bring anything home from the cemetery.
It is forbidden or highly discouraged for pregnant women to visit the cemetery, even on parental Saturday. This is considered a very bad omen, since wandering souls can move into an unborn child.
While at the grave, you cannot complain about your bad life, hardships and failures. Otherwise, the deceased will "take you to him." At the same time, you cannot rejoice at your successes, because then you can lose luck.
As for clothing, women of all faiths are advised to visit the cemetery with their heads covered and in closed shoes (not sandals or flip flops).
If you stumbled into a cemetery out of the blue, then trouble awaits you in the future, and if soon after the cemetery you come to visit your friends or acquaintances, you risk "bringing death to them."
A whole series of signs and customs are associated with cats in the cemetery. First of all, it is believed that the souls of the dead can be possessed by cats (sinners in black cats, and the righteous in white ones). And in the form of a cat, a witch can walk around the cemetery, and therefore you either need to stay away from the cats in the cemetery, or you can try to appease them by feeding them.
If you saw a cat in the cemetery right at the grave of your relative, then pet him and feed him, because this means that your relative has come to you in his form. And if you saw that the cat is lying right on the grave, then never drive him away.
In general, it is forbidden to offend cats in the cemetery, this is a very bad omen. In other places, it is also not necessary to offend them in general, cats are mystical animals and are associated with the other world.
