How to celebrate All Saints Day in Krakow

While you are visiting a cemetery, if you see a grave without a candle, place a candle, and reflect. It is bad luck, for a grave to not have a candle and there are many foreigners from military days who do not have family living locally. Once the sun goes down, you can enjoy the warm glow of candlelight which is a beautiful and heart-warming sight.
