All Saints' Day


1st November is All Saints’ Day in Poland and it’s a day off  - a religious holiday. On that day most Poles visit cemeteries. They put flowers and lit candles on the graves of  their relatives and/ or friends. This is a day to remember all those who passed away. On the 1st of November the weather was very nice. It was 18 Celsius degree but the wind was very strong. Some volunteers from our school  were present at the cemetery gates to collect money for the charity.  People who  gave money to support a local hospice were given a symbolic flower.
