All Saints Day takes place on the first of November. A few days before this holiday, people start preparations. First, they clean the graves of their relatives, next they buy candle sticks and the most popular flowers for this occasion – chrysanthemums to decorate the places where dead persons were burried. On that holiday, many people gather near different cemeteries and later they go with family members to stand by the graves of relative dead persons. They light candles and pray. In the midday, a priest starts a mess to celebrate the souls of dead. Then people think about relatives. In this moment everybody is sad and unhappy. In the evening, families have a meeting to talk about beloved relatives and to remember old times, when dead persons lived.
I think that date of first November is on the one hand very nice and happy event but on the other hand it is a little bit sad. It is happy because in that day we remind good time spent with dead relatives and realize that they are alive in our hearts. Sad - because we can not understand why they died.
