Slovenians honour deceased on All Saints' Day
All Saints' Day is a holiday when Slovenians spend time at the cemeteries in their community to honour their deceased family members and friends. Some also go to mass afterwards and enjoy a festive meal to mark the holiday.
Meanwhile, Ljubljana's Žale cemetery will see most of the country's top political figures paying respects to Slovenia's fallen war heroes and victims.
President Borut Pahor will lay wreathes at the cemetery, honouring the victims of the 1991 war for independence, victims of WWI, Partisans killed in WWII, and visit the Linden Tree of Reconciliation, which honours the memory of those killed in post-WWII reprisal killings.
He will be accompanied by PM Miro Cerar, parliamentary Speaker Milan Brglez, President of the National Council Mitja Bervar, Maj.Gen. Andrej Osterman and Police Commissioner Marjan Fank.
Pahor also plans to visit the Teharje Memorial Park, dedicated to the victims of post-WWII mass killings near the city of Celje, the Kočevski Rog woods in southern Slovenia to visit the post-WWII mass graves, and Urh, a village near Ljubljana, which houses a memorial to victims of war violence.
The municipalities of Maribor, Gorizia, Celje and Ptuj have also organised ceremonies to honour the fallen soldiers.
