PDF-(BOOK)-Celebrations of Death: The Anthropology of Mortuary Ritual

This revised edition of a crosscultural study of rituals surrounding death has become a standard text in anthropology sociology and religion Part of its fascination and success is that in understanding other peoples death rituals we are able to gain a better understanding of our own Peter Metcalf and Richard Huntington refer to a wide variety of examples from different continents and epochs They compare the great tombs of the Berawan of Borneo and the pyramids of Egypt or the dramas of medieval French royal funerals and the burial alive of the Dinka masters of the spear in the Sudan and other burials which at first sight seem to have little in common Many of these cases are anthropological classics and the authors use these examples partly in order to illustrate the many different ways in which anthropologists have tried to interpret these rites A new introduction reviews theoretical developments in the anthropological study of death since the book first appeared in 1979.

The transition from water as a means to achieve physical cleanliness to water as a means of achieving spiritual cleanliness is not a huge one. In ancient Babylon, water was used as a means of spiritual cleansing by the cult of Enki. In ancient Greece, a bath in the sanctuary of Trophonion was believed to provide immortality to the initiate undergoing the ritual. There are many other examples of water as a method for spiritual cleansing in many ancient religions.  . ODIEGWU C.N.C, UDE R.C, OKEY – ONYESOLU C.F, ODIEGWU U.O, . . ONWURAH WINIFRED O.
