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.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Love it and the thought behind.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. Growing up we used to attend a mass that honoured the dead on this day.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have known either.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I have a thing for candles and good to burn then in honour of loved ones.
ReplyDeleteWith both my parents gone it was a touching moment, I didnt light a candle myself, but who knows, maybe I will next year.
