The history of the celebration now called Thanksgiving dates back thousands of years. Indigenous people living in what is now Canada have long had a tradition of celebrating a successful harvest in the fall in addition to other seasonal festivities. Harvest celebrations often included large gatherings and feasts as well as rituals and dances. All of these traditions informed Thanksgiving celebrations that European colonial settlers brought with them. The earliest known Thanksgiving celebration hosted by settlers in Canada took place in 1578.

t’s fitting that Jules Verne, father of science fiction, would have a dark, otherworldly gravestone. Two years after his death, a sculpture was erected atop his marker. Designed by sculptor Albert Roze, and using the actual death mask of the writer, the statue depicts the shrouded figure of Jules Verne breaking his own tombstone and emerging from the grave.

Like everything else, end-of-life services change with the times. Though traditional funerals, rich with cultural and religious customs, are still very much preferred by some, the preference for less strict, more relaxed celebrations has gone from trend to convention. http://bit.ly/3HbSTAe

The Bo people, a community who lived in China's Sichuan and Yunnan regions, overlooking the longest river in Asia, were referred to "sons of the cliffs." The tribe vanished, but it left behind the Hanging Coffins of Asia. There is no confirmed explanation for these cliffside burials, but theorists believe they could have been a way for the bodies to be nearer to God or avoid being broken apart by wild animals. https://bit.ly/3xXiFUv
