The hanging coffins of the mountains

They are the dead of the Kankanaey tribe…
Or?pendants from the Philippines

They must be between heaven and earth. A few ago 300 or 400 Years began this tradition of hanging coffins from a cliff, Free souls. They are the dead of the Kankanaey tribe, that rest in that limbo halfway to heaven. Only those born in Sagada, north of the Philippines can be suspended from the mountain. And only if they die being grandparents, For some reason that escapes me. Tribal creeds are losing the battle with the most widespread Christian tradition in the country. Stop there are still hanging coffins of those who insisted on flying after dead.
