Halloween Traditions



Halloween from Around the World
Halloween in Poland

    In Poland doors and windows are left open to welcome the spirits or the visiting souls.

    In Poland November 1 has become a public holiday.

    On All Saints' Day Catholics attend church services in honor of the saints, the martyrs and those who have died for the Catholic faith. People may also visit their family’s graves to beautify them with wreaths and small lanterns. Sometimes a mass is said at the gravesite and the grave sprinkled with holy water.

    On November 2 or All Souls' Day, Catholics attend a special Requiem masses, where they remember those who may be close to them that have died. Prayers for the dead are said and votive candles are lit to honor their memory.
