My fiance says he’s never heard of this and I can’t tell you I know where it came from but I take my shoes off and carry them or leave them outside the boundary when I know I’m waking over dead people! We’re supposed to respect dead people and you respect people by taking off your shoes when you enter their home! You should take your shoes off when walking where dead people live(are)???
Am I just insane???
This will probably vary between cultures and religions. Here in Catholic and Protestant Switzerland, I’ve never heard of anyone taking off their shoes. This may well be different in other parts of the world. Maybe you can be a bit more specific about which religion/country/culture you are talking about.
