Catholics across Bandra paid homage to the memory of their loved ones who left this world by participating in special church service at cemeteries during the observance of All Soul’s Day on November 2.
Priests across Bandra blessed the graves with holy water during the observance of All Souls Day. This also happened to be the first time that devotees cut down on the immense use of floral wreaths and candles on graves, as requested by the church.
Hundreds of families took the advice of the church to limit the spending on flowers and candles by placing only 1 to 2 wreaths on graves, which was more than sufficient to beautify the tombs which had an added dash of sparkle by the lighting of the candles.
