Funerary and Memorial customs
At the cemetery, the priest drizzles the coffin with wine and oil then reads a special prayer. Once it's all over, everyone goes back home where the relatives of the deceased prepared a special funeral dish called "coliva". It's a sweet meal made of pearl barley and it contains sugar and nuts, and is usually decorated with a cross.
Common Taboos
- Extending the pinky and index finger while bending the thumb, middle and ring finger (the vertical horns) usually means one’s wife is cheating on them. It can also be used for "rock" from "rock n roll".
- If you are offered food or a drink in a social situation, it's best not to refuse as the person will most likely be very offended if you do so. This depends from person to person.
- Putting your thumb in between your middle and index finger while making a fist is not an obscene gesture, but not a pleasant one either. It means "ciuciu" something like “ you are not going to see this ever". For example, if you give something to someone, and you dont think are going to get it back, you say "Ill receive ciuciu" and you show the sign.
- If a black cat crosses your way, bring bad luck
- If you take the garbage out at night, means you take the money out of the house.
- If a woman leaves her purse on the floor, means she will be poor.
- If you break a mirror, youll have 7 years of bad luck.
- The cat always sleeps in the room where bad energy is.
- When a woman sits on the ground, she might get sick, and if it is serious, she might not have any children.
