I. Traditional Eschatological Concepts

For the Malagasy, death is as important an event as it is for Christians. For both, death is a passage of the soul into an eternal afterlife. That afterlife can be either one of felicity or damnation, depending on the free and independent moral choices of an individual. For the Malagasy, life after death is populated by the Ancestors, God-Zanahary and an entity known as Reverend Ra, a trinity of sorts ...

II. Death among the Betsimisaraka

The Betsimisaraka do not fear death. They accept it as a fact of life by reason of its naturalness and inevitability.The incidence of death in Madagascar is much higher than elsewhere in the industrialized world. Death is transitional. It can be either good or bad. A good death is expected. It is preceded by proper religious and traditional preparation ...

III. Spiritual and physical considerations among the Betsimisaraka on the subject of death

The Malagasy agree with the Catholic interpretation of man as a being with a mortal body and an immortal soul. The soul leaves the body at death. Both the physical and spiritual aspects of the human are addressed in the Malagasy funerary rites, with accent on the soul. The body is weak, subject to sin and corruption. The Malagasy soul remains close to the body for the duration of the funeral before returning to God-Zanahary, but only after interment ...

The Malagasy people believe that the voyage from the world of the living to the realm of the dead is a tremendously important event. Family members, neighbours, clansmen and tribesmen participate in the funerary rituals and rites, respecting the conditions that enable the late departed to join the Ancestors. The art of dying addressed in the following, refers mainly to the traditional way of dealing with death at the family level ...

The art of dying, addressed in this chapter, is experiencing a gradual decline in keeping with the changing socio-cultural environment. This is most noticeable in urban settings. Far from the big cities, in centers where the civilizing influence of progress is not as evident, the art of dying has survived and is being preserved ...

Evangelization in Madagascar, dating back to the 17th century (and especially active in the 19th century) contributed in large measure to the simultaneous practice of both Christian customs and the local indigenous rituals, at one and the same time. It is very important to note that, at no time at the beginning of the evangelical process, did the missionaries attempt to accommodate local customs to their Christian beliefs. Nor was there any attempt to eliminate them altogether ...
