1. November-day of the dead

43 Comments

1. We have a special day – Day of Remembrance and Sorrow (22 June) – the beginning of The Great Patriotic War (1941-1945), but I usually visit the grave of my grandmother in other days to avoid crowds of people.

   • You see how different we are-I’m also going to the crochet, most of all, to the plain day of the year when there is no crowd

2. We don’t have such celebrations in my country. But we usually visit the tomb on the day before of religious holidays.

   • This is also common with us – this is a special day dedicated to the dead souls

     • Remembering and dedicated those who have died has its own meaning.
       Dead soul?

       • It probably has an even greater significance in you

     • Now I lit candles for my parents, friends and bf who passed away. It’s 2nd of November here now.

       • It’s just that we have only one day of difference

10. I do not think that we have such a holiday here in Canada, although on November 11 the, we take one minute of silence and celebrate Veteran’s day just like other countries.

    • Thank you for your explanation

11. Here in New Zealand we did not celebrate Halloween but its become commercial now and only just for children.
    The Anglican church called it “All Souls Day” but generally as most don’t go to church ignore it.

    However, I often go to Mums grave and see that her flowers are right. They are only plastic flowers from the $2 shop but ones that look bright and pretty. I don’t have any particular day to visit.

    • Thanks for the explanation – we are very different in certain things – so it’s good that we are not all the same

12. We do not have a day of the dead, we have a day on the 3rd of November for the soul.

15. Do you have another day when you visit mass graves?

16. There is a cemetery across the road. I usually go there once a month and clean things up. I don’t know anyone who is buried there, but I like it to look nice.

    • This is very nice of you – there are few such people

17. We do not have that holiday here.
