🕯 All Saints Day (01. November: Mindenszentek) and All Souls Day (02. November: Halottak Napja) in Hungary
On 1st November Hungarians commemorate all Christian Catholic saints that don’t have a designated holiday in the calendar.
The truth is that the early Catholic church had chosen this date (in 835 AD) to be a holiday to oppress the All Hallows day or Samhain celebrated all over the non-Christian Celtic world.
According to Celtic traditions, on Samhain the barrier between the world of the dead and the living gets thinner allow the two parts to communicate with each other.
Hungarian folklore (especially in the countryside) managed to preserve some of the pagan beliefs and traditions:
- No fancy costumes,
- No pumpkin carving and kids going house by house chanting “Trick or Treat”.
Hungarians go to the cemetery to honor and remember their departed family members, relatives and friends.
Cemeteries in Budapest are spectacular this time of the year: beautiful wreaths and bunches of chrysanthemums adorn graves, the light of candles flowing gently in the night breeze can be seen from afar.
TIP: Do visit the Kerepesi Cemetery at Fiumei út 16. in district VIII. (view on Google Maps), the largest cemetery of the city and a resting place for many famous Hungarians,: politicians and other public figures, actors, actresses and so on. On All Saints Day cemeteries have longer opening hours:
Note: November 1 is a public holiday in Hungary so shops, markets, and most public institutions, restaurants will be closed.
