BURIAL CUSTOMS. --Among the early Christians the dead were buriedwith the face upward and the feet toward the east, in token of theresurrection at the coming again of the Sun of Righteousness. Itcannot be said, however, that the custom was first used by theChristians. It was in practice among early pagan nations also, and isregarded as a survival of the ideas of the fire-worshipers. The sun, which was the impersonation of deity to many primitiv
...e races, had hishome in their mythology in the east, and out of respect for him thedead were placed facing this quarter, among certain tribes always ina sitting posture. It may also be remarked that among other races theposition was reversed, the dead body being placed with its feet towardthe west, because the region of sunset was the home of the departedspirits.
