People around Czechia marking Dušičky

People around Czechia are remembering their late loved ones on Thursday’s Dušičky, or All Souls’ Day. November 2 is referred to as the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed in the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar.

Many Czechs tend to graves and lay wreathes and flowers in the run-up to Dušičky, while services are held on the day itself.

Cemeteries have extended opening hours on Dušičky, police patrols are in place and some municipalities provide more public transport.
