Silence


I am learning about funeral rites of the Macedonian Orthodox religion.
I am out of my depth.
I am silently watching, and trying to act appropriately, or at least not embarrass myself.
I am under-packed.
I am unprepared.
There are many items to be bought, there are many steps that must follow certain rules.  There is mostly silence except for ritual words and weeping.
