On Sunday, November 5, All Saints’ Day is celebrated in churches across the country, with more than a thousand events.
Through memorial services, open chapels, talks and candle lighting, the Church wants to make room for grief, loss, memories – and all the other emotions that can arise on such a day.
Every grief is unique, and every person grieves in their own way. There are many different ways to celebrate Halloween.
– The Church has a place for you and for your sadness and longing, says Olav Fix-Tveit, a prominent bishop in the Church of Norway.
Many appreciate the Church’s work on behalf of people in mourning. 8 in 10 members believe the church is good for society when it supports people experiencing grief.
