Although I have a religion, it is not Roman Catholic and, of course, I am only an Englishman (!), so I am confused. According to the Roman Catholic Church where I have encountered it before Poland, November 1 was All Saints Day when the Saints were remembered etc. November 2 was All Souls Day when the departed were remembered and blessed at the gravesides. From what I see, on November 1, although called in Poland All Saints Day, it is the dead who are remembered in the cemetery, with no mention of Saints. Am I mistaken?
I may have been misled by a young woman three or four years ago when I was speaking at a Conference in Warszawa. She was telling me of the party they had on the evening of October 31 (Hallowe'en)and at midnight they all went to the cemetery to remember the dead (that is in the early hours of November 1)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where am I going wrong?
