Happy Halloween!


Hei! Osallistun Pieni Lintu -blogin MakroTex-haasteeseen näillä Pyhäinpäivä/Halloween-kuvilla. Kun viikon aiheena on pimeä, odotettavissa on tunnelmallisia postauksia!

Hyvää Pyhäinpäivää!  Happy All Saints' Day!

In Finland, All Saints' Day is nowadays celebrated on the Saturday between 31 October and 6 November. This year it falls on the 31st October. The tradition is to light candles and visit the graves of passed away relatives and loved ones.

Celebrating Halloween is becoming more popular also in Finland. The origins of this feast are fascinating, but not few dislike seeing how the commercial interests are now driving this event.
However, I needed to try to take some spooky snaps for the MakroTex Challenge. Next Tuesday's theme is dark. Aren't these pictures very dark and scary? :)  Happy Halloween!
