Pohrebné rituály | Prednáška | Prešporské pondelky

The lecture focuses on the diverse ways in which different religions approach death and burial, and at the same time examines the traditional ways of saying goodbye to the deceased in Slovak households.
We will get to know the rituals of Christian, Jewish and other faiths, their symbolism, ceremonies and ceremonial objects, and we will compare them with domestic customs - vigils for the deceased, prayers, songs, feasting and old superstitions.
The lecture offers an overview of religious, cultural and regional traditions so that visitors can understand how behavior at death and last farewells were shaped in different communities and generations in Slovakia.

Prešporské Mondays – a cycle of ten thematic lectures focuses not only on major historical events and famous personalities, but also on less visible stories of streets, squares, crafts, church orders and minorities that shaped the face Presporka. Lectures are given in an understandable and engaging form, supplemented with contemporary interesting facts, contexts and stories.
Prešporské Mondays are intended for all those interested in the history of the city - for laymen and enthusiasts who want to get to know Bratislava more deeply, in a wider context and with an emphasis on its unique character.

You will be guided through the topics by Peter Fiala, a guide of Bratislava Wanderings and the series Date with the City BKIS, a member of the Association of Bratislava Guides.
