Sheni

Sheni is a traditional Georgian commemorative ritual observed on the second Saturday after the death of a loved one. It is a day for family and friends to gather, honor the deceased’s memory, and reflect on their life. Participants often visit the grave, offer prayers, and share a meal, creating a sense of connection and continuity. Sheni serves as an occasion to show respect, maintain cultural traditions, and support the grieving process within the community. It underscores the importance of remembrance and fosters communal bonds through shared mourning rituals.
