Вірили також, що любили його. померлі мають подібні вимоги й потреби, що й живі. Тому з покійником клали в могилу його зброю, гроші, коня, харчі, а навіть його жінку. На могилу ставили харчі, щоб померлі могли їх забрати і покріпитися ними. Палили теж на гробах вогні в честь їхніх душ. Сліди цієї віри, що душі померлих перебувають поміж живими, або бодай відвідують їх у рокові свята (Різдво, Великдень) збереглися й досі в нашому народі. Свідчить про це залишання одного порожнього місця й зайвого накриття на столі під час Святої Вечері (Різдво). Так само в різних околицях України ставлять великодні страви й писанки та запалюють свічки на могилах. На поминання померлих призначені окремі дні. В Україні поминки відбуваються у другий і третій день Великодня, на Провідну (Томину) Неділю та у день Зіслання св. Духа (Зелені свята, Клечальна неділя).
