November 1/2: All Saints Day / All Souls Day / Day of the Dead

A very interesting time in many countries. A biggie in Poland. If you check out the links on this site, you'll see that this is a time of remembering and a time of partying. I can't find the reference, but I remember hearing that there are more drunken driving deaths and arrests during this time of the year than any other in Poland

During the communist / Soviet Union era, the Poles renamed this event as "Day of the Dead" instead of All Souls Day, and continued marking the day and celebrating as usual.
