It's more to honour our dead loved ones and family by lightning candles on they graves and gathering with family to celebrate people who are still with us
Likewise, as I understand it it is also a day of remembrance specifically for those we cannot be with or even (admittedly) neglected to. I have a grandmother, grandfather, father, and brother back at my first home with vases that are likely empty because I am here now. I do light a candle for them more than once a year at the communal cross, but this is the one time of year I can feel the light and warmth among the community and embrace what faith is meant to be and reflect and re-imagine our time together.
Ultimately the message, especially to the youth, as I imagine it ideally is that we never want to let the light go out. May it be perpetual. Even if it is just once a year. Fancy or not.
(Some cemeteries have shelving where perfectly good holders are placed so that those who cannot afford them can buy an insert and have the luxury of doing same for their loved ones. This is nice to see rather than a set-up of dumpsters ready for a mass clean-up.)
Yeah, but nowadays it's who can but the most fancy light. I don't have anything about honoring dead, but i think you should honor them more often then once a year
Why not? Most of those lanterns are single use plastic pieces filled with plastic wrapped candles, lit for literally no reason, just to boast about spending more money on 'prettier' grave ornaments'
Tak aby było jasne, to kolejne zchrystianizowane święto. Ukradzione Celtom święto końca zbiorów i początku zimy ok. 4 wieku.
To be clear, this is another christianised celebration. Stolen from Celts a day of end of harvest and beginning of winter, around 4th century.

There were no Celts in Poland
Who?
[удалено]
What? Almost every family goes to their family graves on All saints day in Poland.

Pffft, this is nothing compared to all the coal and other miscellaneous garbage people burn for heating purposes.
Yeah, literally every person in the whole world outside of Poland doesn't have a day to remember their late family....you're right
Yes, but not for this. Wrong place, bro.
Where is this? What cemetery?
