We write the names of our loved ones on a List, and leave it in an envelope in Church for the month of November. The names are included in the Masses for that month. I didn't know that about "mums" though and I will have to remember never to give them to my Italian friends as a gift. I love your blog :)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477812986531102750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-74080649344012064392011-11-08T00:11:39.931+01:002011-11-08T00:11:39.931+01:00All Saints/All Souls..both important here too..

In Japan, chrysanthemums are used as funeral flowers, but also sixteen petaled chrysanthemum is the emblem of the emperor. Oh, there are two Japanese beauties in Kimono! I wonder whether you have also each Saint Day besides All Saints Day.<br />Best wishes,<br />keikosnowwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224433823476591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-64512513202167648342011-11-03T09:34:32.610+01:002011-11-03T09:34:32.610+01:00Two women of them wear Japanese kimono!

We missed you, but I'm sure you didn't miss us!<br /><br />You are right, Chrysanthemus aren't very popular in Italy and you wouldn't have them in the house. They are associated with death and cemeteries, in Italy, especially in November. Lilies and roses are popular in bouquets, though. Plain old chrysanthemums... I'm not sure... they aren't that pretty, anyway!<br /><br />CIAO!<br /><br />ANNAAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-23764461052277582832011-11-01T16:07:38.875+01:002011-11-01T16:07:38.875+01:00Glad you're back.
