Back to EpisodesWakes and the Middle Ages (A Dash Of Info)
Description
Did people in the Middle Ages really start the tradition of wakes because they drank too much from tin cups and accidentally attended their own funerals? On this episode of Info On The Go, we separate folklore from fact as we explore the strange history of wakes, the fear of being buried alive, and the bizarre safety coffins designed to let the supposedly dead ring for help. The truth behind saying goodbye is far more fascinating than the legend!
