ever since i learned about ghost buildings i haven't been able to stop thinking about them
Guess who's back with Prost × armenian stuff of course I am. SO what's the subject of today's post whatever
I think a lot of you have seen gifs
White colour really suits Alain tbh, and he has a lot of clothes in white colour, this colour kinda resonates with him even in it's meaning in Armenia, where white is considered ritually pure, it was the color of clothing during baptism and at the same time the burial shroud at funerals. So particularly person is born in white and dies in it, and it was a big part of all these rituals.
But I guess mostly we're all associating Prost with colour blue. You know right..
So in Armenia blue colour is mostly associated with old age, grief, death. Blue for Armenians is the color of loss, illnesses, and blue was worn as a sign of mourning (mainly for a distant relative). At the same time, blue is also attributed with healing power, and it was widely used in healing magic and amulets against evil spirits.
And I have my favourite fact about death in armenian culture btw! Before burial family put rock in the hands of the dead relative, so they won't haunt their loved one. (It can be a member of the family, a lover or even a friend)
People believed, that this rock was some kind of replacement for the dead, because If you won't give it to them after the death they will feel lonely and they'll feel the lack of something, so they will haunt their loved one until they join them in afterlife.
Coming out of my grave to add this.
This photo needs to be resurrected, it’s screaming ‘our get along shirt’ energy and I’m living for it
