WorldPhoto: HT HealthSagada Honors Dead with Pinewood Fires on All Saints' Day
In Sagada, a mountain town in the Philippines, tiny pinewood bonfires burned through the night at a cemetery during the Panag-aapoy ceremony, marking All Saints' Day for 122 years. The fires lit up the foggy hilltop, honoring over 2,000 deceased. The tradition began after US missionaries encouraged lighting candles on graves, symbolizing Christ as the light and fellowship with departed loved ones.
