Every year on All Saints’ Day (November 1st), Poland’s cemeteries transform into a sea of flickering candlelight, creating a moving tribute to departed loved ones. Known locally as “Zaduszki,” this tradition sees families gather to clean and decorate graves with flowers, wreaths, and candles. The warm glow of thousands of candles illuminates the night, symbolising remembrance, love, and the enduring connection between generations.
This solemn yet beautiful event is deeply rooted in Polish culture, blending Catholic traditions with a profound respect for ancestry. It’s a time for reflection, prayer, and coming together as a community to honour those who have passed.
