AllSaints2010.Manila.800

All Saints’ Day at a cemetery in suburban Manila, 2010, where Filipinos’ custom is “to remember their dead, clean the graves, and decorate them with flowers. While the purpose is somber, the effect is a picnic, full of merrymaking and laughter. Everyone goes to the cemetery, and some even stay overnight.” (Text by Karen A. de la Trinidad)
