Covering a Mirror

It is to ward of the evil eye, or any evil actualy.

I have never heard of this. Is it a religious custom or just something they do in that county? I know each area has its own tradions. For instance, It used to be customary to have the viewing at the deceased person home. My Great Grandma's viewing was at her home in her bedroom. In those days, the common home was built one room at a time. The initial room was the center. When they could build the next room, it was built onto that room until finally the initial room was in the center with room built all around it. This was the case with my Great Grandma. Her bed room was in the center. There was no windows in that room and only a single lightbulb in the center of the ceiling. It was scarey for me as a kid to be in that room with her body.

I've never heard that but would be curious to why they would..... Hmmmm maybe something to do with sprits maybe?????

i have heard of this..some people say it is not to disturb the spirits that are around..they get disorietated..well that is what i have been told..

we don't believe this kind of tradition.. we tend to cover the mirrors when thunder and lightning comes =) heheh
