The All Saints’ Day feast occurs in Sweden on the first Saturday after 1 November. On this day all the saints that don’t have a particular day of their own are celebrated. Traditionally Swedes visit their ancestors’ graves and light candles. It can be a quite spectacular scene, here we see Eds Church outside Upplands Väsby in the greater Stockholm.

Spectacular shot and certainly on the right day.
Tanks Per! Yes, I think it came out well. With the "strings of light" it's almost like the spirits are dancing.
Magical!
I agree with you, Peter. Which once again shows that you shouldn't throw away all pictures that didn't come out all that sharp. They leave a lot to the imagination, and your interpretation of the string show's just that ;-)
Thank you for this picture.
The souls are spirits or is it the Holy Spirit you can see?
The photo is a proof for something between heaven and earth...
(Or is it the special saint belonging to this church?)
???
A cold winternight me and my husband Claes saw halofenomen in Tumba. From every lamp there was a "pelare" up to the sky. We were really in heaven.
I asked Claes to go for his camera but he did not.(We where sleepy.)
Have some of you got a halo in picture some time?
I haven't but Stefan in Haninge has. Here it is.
This is great! Stockholm by request ;o)
