How funerals are conducted in Georgia: modern burial culture

Funeral rituals can tell us a lot about a culture. What are Georgian funerals and why are they like this — philologist and cultural scientist Madina Magomedova will explain in our lecture. You will learn how Georgians perceive death: why they don’t hang pictures of the living and the dead side by side, what they think about suicides, and how they fight against evil spirits. We will also touch on bureaucratic issues: for example, we will talk about why a burial plot is one of the most expensive gifts. Lecture in Russian Payment on-site in cash or by card.
