Good evening my friends! I was very busy today, so I couldn't spend much time here. We just got home from the cemetery. I said that I would like to go out in the evening, because then the cemetery is so beautiful, thousands of candles light up the graves. There weren't many people, we easily found a parking space. We stopped at the Jesus statue near the entrance, where people light candles and pray for the spiritual salvation of the deceased. After that, we went to my parents' grave and lit the candles there as well.

For me this is a very scary this. Light candles on dead people's graves?
It's perfectly natural and it's been a custom for a thousand years, I'm Catholic.
I mean for me is a scery to be in the cemetery at night... π»π»
I love the cemetery, when my parents died, I went every day for 1 year, it didn't matter whether it was day or night, I was never afraid.
And I am going always, but not at night.
