At this point Johanes Kiding large family will also do Ma`nene against Ne`kiding ancestors. Prior to the cemetery, the community and friends gathered in the courtyard of the village under a row of traditional Toraja houses, Tongkonan.

However, grave stone burrow intended not as large, but Patane, a sort of grave stones or small house used to store the remains of their ancestors. The event continued with the opening of two crates containing the remains of ancestors. The bodies of the dead a year ago it was repacked with new fabric.

In each Ma`nene, the bodies of people who died of abstinence is placed in the ground. Therefore, the families always keeping to assume the body of his ancestor. Inevitably, crying depression is widespread. They lament their ancestors while mentioning his name. The bodies that have been wrapped in a new cloth was put back into the house patane. Now, the family of John also has completed the mandate ancestors.
The bodies were buried in graves or grave stone cliffs (patane) after so many years later was appointed and removed. There, the relatives will weep. But there is an ancient tradition that made residents Toraja, besides the corpses, they also raise the corpse. More unique, the corpse could be told to walk home.
Well, it's a fact that occurred in Tana Toraja. And, perhaps only in this place. If during these walking corpses could only be watched in the movies are not real, the tradition of walking corpses in Tana Toraja really in sight and very real. The story of the walking dead many versions. The first version of said first hundred years earlier had a civil war in Tana Toraja. The war that involves people Toraja Toraja West and East.
In the war, West Toraja defeated. Most were killed. But when going home, all the bodies Toraja West rose from the dead. And walk. While the East Toraja, although only a few are killed they still carried the bodies of their dead relatives. War is considered the series.
While the second version, the body goes rigid and somewhat jerky was actually rooted in a past life. First regular Toraja people browsing areas mountains. There are many niche. And everywhere they just walk away. "From ancient times until now remain so. They do not recognize the cart, wagon, wheelbarrow or something. During the trip, many of those who fall ill and die, "said a local resident.
So that the bodies not to be left in an unknown area (Torajan highly respect the spirit of the dead), then with the occult (a kind of hypnosis), that the bodies should then be able to walk home. In this way so that the bodies do not pester another human being. For there will be very unlikely to carry constantly bodies along the way that take days. The walking dead only stopped when he had put his body in his own home. Nevertheless there is still a taboo, namely the walking dead should not be touched. If touched, hypnotic lost.
In succeeding, the Toraja people are often buried her in a way the body was walking alone to the grave. Similarly, when they want to go home or dikangeni family. At home, it has provided a special place for corpses. When they (the bodies of) return, they could inhabit the house. At home they will sleep again. But if you go back to the house before, namely patane, they will run again. So can I say. May be useful. thanks.
