Dn African spirituality, we honor the ancestors. Indeed, the ancestors are not dead (because what is called death does not actually exist in the African). In African spirituality, life after death exists. An ancestor is a being who did not actually die, but who simply went through a change of state (from the physical state visible to all to a spiritual state) after having passed through death (which is simply the passage from this physical world to the world where the Creator is located) and after being justified and sanctified in the Hereafter (after having undergone the test of divine judgment).
The ancestors are one with the creator and they are our intercessors (common threads) with him. The ancestors are the resurrected living who returned to the creator's bosom in the hereafter. As the ancestors were not the dead but the living divinized in the afterlife, Africans perform rites and ceremonies to talk to them, take their news, or address themselves to them so that they intercede for them. from the creator.
