“It's an ancient Anglo-Saxon tradition," Polly began, "the mixing of two ideas---one from earliest Christian times, the other from long before. The first Christians used to follow the custom of 'waking' a new church by singing, feasting, and praying in it."
Jess, disappointed: "But that's not got nothing to do with a dead body."
"I'm not finished yet."
Jess mimed zipping her lips.
"The other tradition I mentioned is much older. Long before the Christians came to Britain, an all-night vigil would be held over the body of the recently dead. Loved ones would mourn and chant and share stories of the person's life. It was called 'waking the dead'."
Jess felt her eyes widen involuntarily as he thoughts went to Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, to Cathy's ghost haunting Withering Heights. "You mean they brought them back to life?"
"Well, no."
"But you said---"
"Back then, the word 'wake' didn't mean to become alert; it meant 'to watch' or 'to guard'."
"But what were they guarding against?"
"There were those who believed the newly dead soul was at risk of theft by evil spirits."
Soul theft at the hands of evil spirits had been almost as exciting as bringing the dead back to life.”
