Kolkata, India. 03rd Nov, 2016. The graves of the christian cemeteries are full of lit up candle and flowers during the the All Souls' Day. A day when Christians remember their friends & relatives, who have passed away. This comes from an ancient belief that the souls of the dead will return, on this particular day, to have a meal with their family & friends. Candles are lit to guide the souls to their home for the meal. © Suvankar Sen/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
