Throughout the world, November 1 marks All Saints’ Day, a Christian holiday celebrated to remember and pay homage to all those who have obtained beatific vision in heaven.
In many parts of Christendom, the day is a national holiday commemorated by a visit to graveyards, in order to plant flowers and light candles in remembrance and celebration of one’s ancestors. This tradition is especially prominent among the people of Poland and Eastern Europe.
