Lithuania All Souls' Day – November 1st

All Soul's Day in Lithuania is a day to remember the dead. When autumn comes to the end and all the work outside is done, Lithuanians carry out special rituals honoring the souls of their dead ancestors. Candles are lit at gravesite memorials and in churches on this day.
The ritual traditions of commemorating the dead are directly related to people's belief that on that day the souls of the dead return to the earth, to their homes. Therefore, the souls of the dead are happy to receive some respect and to be treated according to the rituals of the ancestors.
