All Saints' and All Souls' Day in Poland

All Saints Day is celebrated on the 1st of November in Poland. It is a day in the year where all Polish people go to the cementary to clean up the graves of their ancestors and pay the respects to the dead.

After that comes the All Souls' Day. It is not as important day as the one I named above, but it is also quite important. We pray for the ones in the Purgatory, pleading the God to forgive their sins both mortal and venial.
