Every year, millions of Filipino Catholics flock to cemeteries to observe All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.
The annual tradition that combines Catholic religious rites with the country’s penchant for festivity is popularly called ‘Undas’, or Day of the Dead, a major family affair in the Philippines.
Ahead of the observance, tombs are cleaned and repainted, candles are lit and flowers are offered in cemeteries. (Photos by Jire Carreon)
