Re: Cheerful Autumn Display


All Souls Day is something we (being Eastern European and mildy obsessed with dead and remembering those who have died), celebrate. Every year we used to go to the Polish cemeteries in Ealing where families light masses of candles on the graves of their loved ones and the priest holds a procession and annoints the graves with holy water and prayers.

Now I'm seriously lasped, but the theatrical aspect of this ceremony fascinates me so I'd be very happy to have this feast resurrected. After all, we're happy to embrace Diwali and Eid so why not one of our old religious customs?

Just to say, my Mum has asked if I'd take her to this year's procession (to where my Dad and paternal Grandmother are buried) and bring Dominik so he can experience it, because it really is magic!
