Zaduszki, All Souls Day

Every year on the night of 2nd November, the Polish people pay their respects to their late friends and relatives by lighting candles in cemeteries across Poland. Although sad, it is a remarkable sight to see and experience.

Often rooted in religion, Polish traditions and customs remain as strong today as they did centuries ago. The Poles have a deep respect for their past and a pragmatic outlook on their future, which you’ll discover in great depth during your next visit to Poland.
