All Saint's Day Poland - Poland National Holiday - Day of the Dead
All Saint's Day Poland
Szymon Mazurek © 2006
On All Saint's Day (November 1), cemeteries in Poland are decorated with flowers and candles. The candles are specially made so that they can burn safely for a long period of time in order to guide spirits through the night. When darkness falls, hundreds of these candles can be seen glowing in Poland's cemeteries.
