nope, those are/were the Greeks. The Irish leave a window open and then closed two hours later to prevent the spirit from re-entering. The body is then cleaned up as well as a rosary, cross and candles placed around the dead. The candle remains lit as long as the dead person is in the house. Their windows are closed, clocks will be stopped at the time the person died and mirrors will be covered or face the wall.
