  <body>Every year on November 1st people gather to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.
Traditions include cleaning and decorating graves with candles and flowers of the dead which are thought to attract the souls of the dead to the offerings.
The photos were taken in Maramures, one of the most traditional places in Romania.
