All Saint's Day

Posted by Krisu (Tampere, Finland) on 2 November 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Every first saturday of November we in Finland and also in Sweden honour our beloved ones who has passed away by lighting candles to their graves and thinking of them.
The custom of celebrating saints and martyrs on specific days is an old Christian tradition.
This is also my choice to the Thursday Challenge, where the theme this week is "SHINY" (Bright, Reflections, Polished, Glistening, Sparkle, Metal,...)
