Eastern Christian Orthodox All Souls Day. The 78 years old Ognyanka stands on the grave of her husband Boris. According to the Eastern Christian Orthodox beliefs, the Souls of the Departed come back on this day and stand at their own graveside. For this reason their relatives bring them wine and their favorite food, which they arrange on the grave.The ritual giving away of food to other people is believed to help satiate the Departed's hunger.
