About: Day of the Dead (ceremony)   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The Day of the Dead takes place once every 200 years and is heralded when the orbit of the only comet in the Brakiri System comes into proximity with Brakir. Though it is called the 'day' of the dead it actually takes place at night as Brakiri are a naturally nocturnal race. In preparation decorations in the form of candy skulls and golden comets are put up and a 'mystical' inscription is drawn in chalk around the limits of Brakiri territory. At sundown the senior local Brakiri walks the street (or corridors) chanting an incantation with a bell-baring priest in tow. Through the course of the night, each person is visited by one who has gone beyond and they talk until planetary sunrise.
