About All Saints' Day
All Saints' Day on 1 November, Wszystkich Świętych, is one of the most widely observed days of the year in Poland. Beyond its religious meaning, it has become a national day of remembrance for deceased family members, closely linked with All Souls' Day, Zaduszki, on 2 November.
Traditions
Families travel, often long distances, to visit the graves of relatives, which they clean and decorate with flowers and candles in glass holders called znicze. In the evening cemeteries across the country glow with large numbers of candles. Candles are also placed at memorials to soldiers and other national figures.
