Funeral Weather

If it rains before and during a funeral, the deceased has ascended to heaven.  (Anglo-Irish American belief).  If it is sunny during a funeral, the deceased has ascended to heaven. (African-American belief).  I point out that both are Folk-Christianity, as the Bible speaks of 'sleep' before the Resurrection.  I surmise, the opposite African-American belief has it's roots in antinomian ("outlaw", being correct in my opinion) beliefs formed during slavery.  Opposition has it's power.
