As part of the zombie
ceremony, even the skeletons of children are exhumed.
Damaged coffins are fixed
or replaced before the mummies are walked around the area by following a path
of straight lines during the ritual, called Ma'nene, or The Ceremony of
Cleaning Corpses.
These fascinating pictures
show an annual ritual where villagers dig up the bodies of their dead relatives
before washing, grooming and dressing them up in fancy new clothes.
Families in the Indonesian
province of Toraja in South Sulawesi perform the act to keep their relatives
alive in their hearts and minds.
Villagers show their love
for dead relatives by digging them up and dressing them in fresh clothes for a
bizarre ritual.
The skeletons of Jesaya
Tandibua and Yakolina Namanda had hair brushed by grandson Herman Tandi, 32,
after they were decked out in wedding outfits.
Nearby an army veteran,
dead for a decade, was dressed in uniform for the Ma’nene ritual, or Ceremony
of Cleaning Corpses, which takes place in Toraja, Indonesia, every three years.
