<!-- .ven lang=en -->
In the food and money and other necessaries of existence still placed in the coffin with the corpse, may be seen traces of an old belief in a journey which the soul was forced to undertake after the death of the body; in the \_pomniki\_ or feasts in memory of the dead, celebrated at certain short intervals after a death, and also on its anniversary, may be clearly recognized the remains of a faith in the continued residence of the dead in the spot where they had been buried, and in their subjection to some physical sufferings, their capacity for certain animal enjoyments.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** journey, body, remains · **What happens:** place, see, force, undertake, celebrate, be · **To what, where:** existence, coffin, traces, food, journey, certain short intervals
