If you decide to visit any cemetery in Poland at the beginning of November, you will surely be taken aback by seeing that it is fully lit with thousands of candles and decorated with of flowers of all kinds (but mostly Chrysanthemums). This is all because of All Saints’ Day, a Polish tradition during which Poles from all over the country travel to their home cities to visit the graves of their deceased relatives.

In Poland, the celebration takes place under the name of Wszystkich Świętych, which literally means All Saints. It is also quite common to hear people refer to this day as Dzień Zmarłych or Święto Zmarłych (which mean Day of the Dead) – It is a bank holiday dedicated to paying tribute to the deceased, during which most of the people visit cemeteries.
