      Yeah, when you compare this with Halloween, the latter starts to look very silly and childish in comparison, doesn't it? That's why it makes me sad, when people in Poland are parroting foreign holidays (mostly from America :q ), despite the fact that they have their own traditions and holidays that are also great and beautiful. Not only All Saints Day, but also a lot more: Christmas traditions, New year's traditions, and also a lot of pre-Christian, Slavic holidays related to agriculture and nature. All that will soon be forgotten and lost forever if we don't stop copying American holidays so eagerly.

    Was brought to tears this morning when my priest showed us a picture of how Poland celebrates and truly cherishes this tradition of remembering the Holy Souls. Poland, facing the Great Schism in 1054 from the East, the Protestant Revolt in 1517 from the west, and finally Communism the 20thC; through it all, the Polskis have kept the faith to heart, and remember those before them who made the ultimate sacrifices. "It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins." 2 Maccabees 12:46.

It so important because at every Polish family you have a one or more that one héroe who gave his life for freedom. I still remember when being just a little girl I was told by my Granny to look after an tiny, unknown little kid's grave placed on the side of our Grandpa grave...we liked to go and put flowers and pray for him...

    To me the coolest thing about is, you can 1) smell the candles in the air even away from the cemetery 2) the cemetery gets noticeably warmer, even though it's cold in November. I think it nicely represents people coming to warm cold graves with their love for the deceased.

    It's actually one of my favorite tradition. The Powązki Military Cemetery looks amazing in the evening on 1st November, plus the smell of the candles is very characteristic.. I visit this Cemetery very often, as i have my great-grandparents and grandparents there, but on the 1st November is completely different mood there. We always visit my grandparent's friends (e.g. Ryszard Kapuscinski) and journalist Waldemar Milewicz, as well as Roslaw Szaybo (famous Polish posters and album covers designer). My great-grandpa (from my dad's side) was murdered in Kuropaty and we always put a candle by the Katyń memorial to commemorate him, as he doesn't have his own grave (was not identified yet.). We visit also my grandma's beloved uncle, who died in Warsaw Uprising in the age of 26.., as well as my great-grandma who first tortured and murdered in Pawiak prison - world famous art-deco designer Julia Keilowa.
    Thanks for this video, it's good to share this beautiful tradition of ours, of Poland. Cheers.

We will create a future for Poland that is brighter than anything people can imagine. Poland is not yet lost...while we still remain. We have work to do and our ancestors are looking upon us. We cannot fail. Poland will be the beacon of hope and a bastion of Western Judeo-Christian civilization. Niech żyje Polska!

      Błyskotliwy komentarz...z wyjątkiem Judeo-Christian civilization. Nic takiego nie istniało, nie istnieje i nie będzie istniało. Chrześcijaństwo jest kontynuacją przymierza Boga jedynego z ludzkością zapoczątkowaną przez przymierze z narodem wybranym, ale po odrzuceniu Chrystusa przez żydów, nie powstała żadna cywilizacja judeo- chrześcijańska. Przeciwnie, nasza religia jest zwyczajnie zwalczana przez żydów (w filmie, mediach, uniwersytetach etc.). Pozdrawiam rodaka.

    Thank you for the video. But, you missed one very important thing about All Saints Day. We don't just remember the departed, we also say a pray at each grave and it is the beginning of the month of pray for the souls through daily Gregorian Masses and this is one of the holy days were by confession, holy mass and Eucharist the sins of a prugatory soul can be completely absolved. That is the point of this day. To bring all purgatory souls to heaven through our prayers.
