Every nation has many different habits and is\'s own culture. Every nation also has to remember and care about dead people. In Poland, for Christians, this rite is one of the most important holidays. The day of 2 November is dedicated to dead people, pray for their souls and in memorial for them.

The All Saints Day was inaugurated by abbot of Benedictines convent in Cluny (France) - St. Odilon. In 998 he said that in all Benedictines convents the All Saints Day is on 1 of November. In a later time, church governments moved this day in 2 of November.

Nowadays it is rather sad holyday and a time for reflections upon our life. The whole family comes together on cemetery. They clean a tombs of theirs ancestry and strike a light for theirs souls. They also stay there for some minutes to pray and think about dead. After that they often also meet for some dinner or sapper with family from others cites.

I think it is very important to think sometimes about dead people nevertheless it is sad topic.
