My tribute to All Saints Day ..

All Saints' Day is a Christian holy day observed by many Western churches on November 1 and by Eastern churches on the first Sunday after Pentecost. The day now honors all saints of the church, even those not known by name.In terms of Catholic theology, the feast remembers all those who have attained the beatific vision in heaven, while the next day, All Souls' Day, commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven.
All Souls' Day is a Roman Catholic day commemorating the faithful departed or those baptized Christians believed to be in purgatory. It is celebrated on November 2 unless this date falls on a Sunday. When this happens, All Souls' Day is celebrated on November 3.
Odilo, abbot of Cluny, established All Souls' Day in the eleventh century. The day purposely follows All Saints' Day in order to shift the focus from those in heaven to those in purgatory.
On this day, three requiem masses are celebrated: one for the celebrant, one for the departed, and one for the pope.
The Church of England abolished All Souls' Day during the Reformation. However, the day has been reestablished in Anglo-Catholic churches.
In many countries with a Roman Catholic heritage, All Saints Day and All Souls Day have long been holidays where people take the day off work, go to cemeteries with candles and flowers to visit the graves of deceased relatives.

Hi Melinda,
the silhouettes are clean and crisp and the sky looks very attractive.
I think it would have worked much better with more sky and less of the ground (ie thirds).

Best regards, Daniel

Szia Linda,
Gyönyörű Mindenszemtek kompozíció, a meleg árnyalatok nagyon tetszenek a fotón. Szépen kezelted a fényviszonyokat, az esti fények jól látszanak, csakúgy mint a temetői kontúr vonalak a sötétben. Hangulatos, nyugodt kép. Jó a note is hozzá.
Gratulálok!
Minden jót!
Kristóf
