A Christian lady pays respect with lit candles beside the grave of her deceased relative during All Souls' Day. Christian devotees gather at the graves of their loved ones at a cemetery with lit up candles and flowers during the All Souls' Day. A day when Christians remember their friends & relatives, who have passed away. This comes from an ancient belief that the souls of the dead will return, on this particular day, to have a meal with their family & friends. Candles are lit to guide the souls to their home for the meal.
