In #Ireland, the departed stay present. You might still come across old-timers who recall how families in rural stretches would clean the house and set out a drink on the first night of November — the eve of All Souls’ Day — in the belief that the dead would return. Respect for burial grounds runs deep, with crowds gathering in their local cemeteries once a year to pray as a priest blesses the dead within. This reverence for the grave may derive from centuries of land dispossession, or passed-on memories of famine corpses in the fields and byways, or simply be linked to a basic desire expressed by the planting of a headstone: To be remembered. Our reporter @danbarry1958 visited Tuam, Ireland — a town whose very name conjures the buried dead. (It’s derived from a Latin term for “burial mound.”) From 1925 to 1961, Tuam was the site of the St. Mary’s Mother and Baby Home. Inside, nuns kept watch over unmarried mothers and their children. Sinners and their illegitimate spawn, it was said. The fallen. Decades later, a local historian exposed this property’s appalling truth: Hundreds of babies born to unwed mothers died there. “I couldn’t understand it,” said Catherine Corless, the woman whose research prompted a national reckoning. “The horror of the idea.” Watch our Instagram Story to read more from @danbarry1958, to see more images by @pdossantos and to watch a video by @kassiebracken.
