rezo
Also spelled: el rezo del muerto · novenario
Definition
The nine nights of prayer at the family's house after a death, and by extension the whole gathering: the canopy out in the street, the borrowed chairs, the coffee and bread, and people who show up without calling. The ninth day closes with the big rezo, and many families repeat it a year later.
Example
Tonight is the rezo for the lady, let's stop by.Esta noche es el rezo de la señora, vamos a pasar.
