  • Mr Minute, your ...

    Mr Minute, your present lesson is very informative and of cultural importance as well.
    In Hungary we don't celebrate Halloween, but we celebrate All Saints' Day on the 1st of November followed by All Souls' Day.(the Day of the Dead) on the 2nd. At these occasions we go to the cemetery to light a candle for the soul of our dead relatives and friends. All Saints' Day has been a public holiday in Hungary in the past years.
