Poland actually celebrates this on November 1st - but it's called all saints day.

I suggest include information about Mexican ofrendas during all saints´ days, that are consumed at the end of this all souls day. This will offer a wider thimble of information.

An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the All_Souls_Day article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.
Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add {{User:LinkBot/suggestions/All_Souls_Day}} to this page. — LinkBot 00:56, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The supposed painting of All Soul's Day by Bouguereau 1859 is actually that of "All Saint's Day". The only public ___domain image I am aware of in relation to All Soul's Day is by Witold Pruszkowski 1888. Also the person making the statement about Poland is partially incorrect. All Saint's Day is celebrated on November 1st, but All Soul's Day which is different again is actually celebrated on November 2nd unless as mentioned in the article it falls on a Sunday. The pagan reference to the dead on All Soul's Day is also I believe incorrect. Based on the Celtic Samhain and Voudon it is believed that the dead arise to mingle with the living at the feast on Samhain eve, also known as All Hallow's Eve, 31st October. 203.208.116.68 01:24, 4 November 2005 (UTC) ParityReply
