Government Closes Cemeteries Ahead Of All Saints Day In Poland

An empty Powazki cemetery is seen in this aerial photo in Warsaw, Poland on October 31, 2020. Just two days before All Saints day, one of the most important holidays in Poland the government announced the mandatory closing of cemeteries to help restrict the spread of the coronavirus. On All Saints day in Poland people traditionally visit cemeteries to lay flowers and take care of the graves of relatives and loved ones. The closing has also hurt small business owners of flower shops who are dependent on income from selling large amounts of flowers during All Saints. People have been called upon to buy flowers to display in front of their homes to help support business owners. (Photo by Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto)
