    It's a bit strange to watch a video about All Saints Day in July, not in November. But it's a good video. In Poland it's a really special, unique day. It's not only to commemorate those who lived once, but to pray for them and to remember that as Christians we do believe their souls are alive and we will meet them again in future.

    That day teaches us history but also emphaty and to celebrate the living once like family and friends. In my house every year we meet with our family at the cementery, having a chat and remember the dead once, later on we go for a dinner to my parents house with all the family. So it's also give us that bond. I think that's one of the things that makes us so "family" oriented nation's.

    All Saints Day is also known as All Hallows Day in English and the evening before is All Hallows Eve (wigilia Wszystkich Świętych in Polish).

    For me it's a day to visit the dead ones but also-what is in my opinion more important - to meet and dine with living family.

    It's also a Lithuanian tradition . Don't know about other countries. It's respect to those who gave their lives so we can live

    By accident, I found out that Ferdynand Ossendowski was buried a dozen or so meters from the grave of my great-grandparents. He was one of the most famous Polish writers before World War II. In communist Poland, he was condemned to oblivion and exclusion from the nation's memory. This holiday is an opportunity for me to thank him for his achievements and books. In the old Slavic tradition, a candle or a lamp on the grave was supposed to prevent the spirit from getting out of the grave and harming the living. However, I am not absolutely sure if this is true.

    Because most of polish people are Roman Catholic.
    And we belive that exists life after death.
    Jesus said so and i belive Him.
    By the way -
    He's risen😊

      It was originally a pagan celebration called dziady that was adapted by christianity, the origin is clearly not christian.

    Actually, there are two days when we come to cemeteries to remember the dead from our families, fallen soldiers, heroes who gave their lives for our freedom and country. The first is All Saints' Day (all saints are remembered in the Roman Catholic Church that day), and the second is All Souls' Day (Pol. Zaduszki), when we remember our deceased loved ones. However, people come throughout the entire week, and even earlier and later, to cemeteries to honor the memory of the dead ones...

    In Poland every family have this kind of story to tell cos 25% of whole nation died during WWII and few years after it.

    This is where we differ from others - we remember, and when we stop remembering, we cease to exist. The only similar day is in Latin America, where Catholicism mixes with the old beliefs of primitive peoples, just like in Poland. All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day which is the day after are based on ancient, pre-Christian customs where we lit fires at graves on the longest night to warm the souls of the deceased so that they would not seek warmth in our homes and scare us.

    Fun fact: All Saints Day is always cold, damp and foggy / rainy ;)
    The opposite of the celebration of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ - "Corpus Christi", in 2024 was on Thursday, May 30, which is always sunny and warm.
    EDIT:
    Those white birch crosses remind me of the song "Biały Krzyż" by "Czerwone Gitary":
    "Gdy zapłonął nagle świat
    Bezdrożami szli przez śpiący las
    Równym rytmem młodych serc
    Niespokojne dni odmierzał czas
    Gdzieś pozostał ognisk dym
    Dróg przebytych kurz, cień siwej mgły
    Tylko w polu biały krzyż
    Nie pamięta już, kto pod nim śpi" (...)
    "When the world suddenly caught fire
    They walked through the wilderness through the sleeping forest
    The steady rhythm of young hearts
    Time marked the restless days
    Somewhere there was smoke from the fire
    Dust of roads traveled, shadow of gray fog
    Only a white cross in the field
    no longer remembers who sleeps under it." (...)

    7:12 In that moment I was randomly like "He is watching me" only because for no reason I have photo of Witold Pilecki pinned to my pin board and he is watching me. (I recommend movie called "Raport Pileckiego" movie telling his story, that's why I have his photo)
    Btw, in Mexico they have Dia de los Muertos which in some way is similar to Wszystkich Świętych, it has the same purpose but is diffrent of course.

    The sections of WWII museum in Gdańsk devoted to Capt. Witold Pilecki and Ulma family was famously (but secretly when it happened) altered a few days ago by deleting them from the exhibition. 😢

    Dla mnie, ten dzień jest ważniejszy, niż skomercjalizowana Wigilia czy Wielkanoc, ale może to już kwestia wieku. Ps. to nie ma nic wspólnego z religią, tylko z szacunkiem dla zmarłych.

    Dude, that is sad, like most of the suff in Poland recently. I have noticed that you are watching Polish stand up and movies. Please don't. They are awkward. Polish productions stopped to be funy after the movie 'Day of the wako' 2002 (Dzień Świra). What's happened after is a funeral of Polish sense of humour. Better if we bury it alone.

    All Saints Day is to remember your loved family members that’s no longer with us.This is our catholic tradition and to care not only for your own family but friends also .This is nothing to do with hallowim.
