a bier and a veil

It reminded me of when I went into church in Menorca to look around. There were a lot people there for the Mass but I didn't think anything particularlyabout it apart from that the church seemed to thriving. I came out and in the entrance saw a small wooden bier and thought there was going to be a procession for the Virgin or something like that and that's why there were so many people. Then then I realised what it was, and I had been wandering around the church as a tourist during a funeral.
