Dziady, Zaduszki, or the Slavic day of the dead was celebrated in autumn, when it was believed the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead was the thinnest. On that day the souls of the dead would return to earth, and the living would burn fires to light their way home, they would throw feasts where they’d share food with them, and they did their best not to hurt them with their everyday activities; sudden moves and housework involving sharp objects were avoided, as to not to hurt the soul that could be standing nearby. To communicate with the souls, people would don ceremonial masks–kraboszki (sing. kraboszka), that represented the dead ancestors.
