Today is All Saints Day and candles have been lit in memory of loved ones who have passed away. The cemeteries are illuminated with flickering light as hundreds of small candles and oil lamps are left on tombs and graves. The above was taken in the the Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw where many of those that fought for Poland in past conflicts are buried. Simple silver birch crosses line the avenues which glow with the candlelight once darkness falls.
Very dramatic and very poignant!
My uncle’s there.
