Veneration of the dead

Veneration of the dead is a way of showing respect and honour for people who have died. It is a way of saying thank you for the things the people did in their life. People can show their respect by going to visit graves, bringing flowers or other things to place on the gravestones, talking about the things the people did that made them special, or even having a special ceremony or celebration in their memory. Veneration of the dead is important to remember the people who have gone and to honour their memories.
