Alla själars dag

Alla själars dag
Many candles burning at the cemeteries over the weekend. This was the scene at the "Minneslund" in Västerhaninge on Sunday afternoon. Both my parents are buried here. This day is called Alla själars dag in Swedish. All Souls' Day in English.

I didn't know that you had such a ceremony for the day. That looks very moving and emotional.

Great shot. Love it and the thought behind.

Nice shot. Growing up we used to attend a mass that honoured the dead on this day.

I wouldn't have known either.

Lovely! I have a thing for candles and good to burn then in honour of loved ones.

With both my parents gone it was a touching moment, I didnt light a candle myself, but who knows, maybe I will next year.
