ALL SAINTS' DAY (NOV. 1) TRADITIONALLY ASSOCIATED IN POLISH
LEGEND AND LITERATURE WITH GHOSTS AND WAYWARD SOULS,
PROVIDED THE SETTING FOR ADAM MICKIEWICZ'S
MASTERPIECE, "FOREFATHER'S EVE." TODAY, IT IS MUCH
LIKE MEMORIAL DAY IN THE UNITED STATES--A TIME TO
HONOR THE DEAD AND PLACE FLOWERS AND CANDLES ON
THEIR GRAVES.
