| About All Saints’ Day |
| The first of November is a national holiday in many European countries, including Slovakia. On this day of All Saints it is customary for people to take time during the day or evening, to go to the cemetery where relatives, friends or neighbors have been laid to rest. On All Saints Day in Slovakia, cemeteries are particularly full of people walking among the myriads of different gravestones, stopping to light candles along with placing flowers by headstones. What is wonderful about this tradition is the feeling of community and respect. In Slovakia a cemetery is a place that is meant to be visited and where visitors are welcome. All Saints’ Day is a personal experience for anyone, religious or non-religious; how spirituality is expressed is entirely up to the individual. |
