45pabatsa
nA prayer ceremony on behalf of the dead.It is usually performed at the end of the month of Saˈban. People bring a rice mound to the prayer house; the ceremony is performed and the
congregation eats the food brought. It can be done earlier in the month on individual
graves or in individual houses. The dead are being ‘fed’ with the rice mound. As the
dead reportedly don’t eat together with others and so each one would have to be provided
with a separate rice mound, therefore it is easier for the living to provide a rice
mound at a communal meal in the prayer house. A week or two before the pabatsa a prayer ceremony is held called magbangun patey ‘waking the dead’. A rice mound is also provided but not for the dead.prayer ceremony for the deadSumuddepepabatsa kamihin.We will have our prayer ceremony for the dead the day after tomorrow.duwaˈa 1
