First thing, what is Halloween?
Notes:
- Halloween is a contraction of Hallows’ Even or Hallows’ Evening – a traditional celebration on the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day.
- It’s the time dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.
- Source: copy lifted from wikipedia
INFO: more about All Hallow’s Eve - In many parts of Eastern Europe, you will find grave sites are lit up with candles and other lighting sources – it’s displays more of the traditional celebration of All Hallows Day over the Western tradition of Halloween goblins and kids’ trick or treating.
- INFO: All Saints Day and All Souls Day in Eastern Europe: Not Quite Halloween
INFO: All Saints’ Day in Poland - So with that noted, it would be fitting to decorate your front yard for the season with the look of an cemetery for both “Halloween” and “All Hallows Day”.

Keep it simple
Notes:
- Sample of a simple graveyard scene that can work for your front yard – something that is nicely assembled without any props or ornaments.
- Kids that come by (if they can given the COVID-19 pandemic) will find something that is silent yet festive for the season.
- They may not know if something or someone will jump out – which makes this type of aging graveyard most spooky.

Add a raven to your graveyard
Notes:
