The above is a foto from a cemetery in Lithuania on All Saints. This was borrowed from a Filipino page in English. They had remarked something like "they decorate as we do". Over these days, the Catholic world does visit graveyards, and even some countries that once were Catholic do the same. Some bring flowers, some bring candles. Some do it on the weekend, some on November 1st, some on the 2nd.
But, in the United States, even in a large Catholic cemetery, the only color visiting is the changing of the leaves.
Sunday afternoon and the living creatures were mostly wild. I did not see a handful of people, and i was a part of a party of two.
