All Saints’ Day


 Sandra Tralić

  The Feast of All Saints, or All Saints’ Day, is observed annually on 1 November with a national holiday in Croatia.
 Locals traditionally use the day to clean family gravestones, add fresh flowers and light candles to pay respects to loved ones no longer here. It is a holy day of obligation for Catholics.
 Mirogoj cemetery in the capital Zagreb will again attract massive crowds with spectacular sights just before sunset as the candles begin to take effect.
