My dear, departed friend Juret told me a lot about it and assured me it is all true. People take this day to visit the graves of their loved ones, to clean them, to but on new flowers, and to light candles. Many candles. Plenty of candles.

I think that Poles have a very healthy respect for their ancestors.
