I don't know if this is practiced in other countries outside of Sweden or maybe outside of Scandinavia. But here in Sweden we have a day that happens usually the day after Halloween where you go to the graveyard and light candles in remembrance of your loved ones that have passed away. Seeing as none of my relatives are buried where I live we can't leave a candle at their gravestone but instead get to leave a candle at a designated space in the graveyard for people that can't get to their relatives graves, in Swedish its called a "Minneslund" or roughly translated to memory lane in English. This is the first time I've been lighting a candle in remembrance of someone that I can actually vividly remember. For those that don't know my great grandfather passed away on the 28th of december, 4 days after christmas in Sweden. He passed away from a brain bleed. It was definitely a lot harder and more emotional to light candles this year.
