Candles during All Saints' Day

This upcomming weekend is one of my favorite ones. The traditional custom of lighting candles on family graves is still widely practised, and anyone travelling in Stockholm on this weekend is met by some beautiful scenes - graveyards filled with candles in remembrance of the people you love. This tradition now lives side by side with the more international tradition of halloween parties.
One of the most beautiful places in Stockholm during All saints Day is the UNESCO World heritage Skogskyrkogården.
