Signs Of Remembrance

Warsaw, Poland

OCTOBER 2013 SCAVENGER HUNT CHALLENGE - Everywhere A Sign

In Poland, the everlasting tradition of All Saints Day, is to go to the cemeteries and visit the graves of deceased relatives and friends. People bring flowers and light candles to honour the memory of the loved ones.
But the preparations to this holiday usually start a week earlier. It was so last Sunday, when we could already see lights and flowers almost on every grave.
