A light for those we miss
On Totensonntag, the German Sunday of remembrance, many people remember their dead. Light a candle, on a memorial or in the Hall of Lights.
Totensonntag
Totensonntag, also called Ewigkeitssonntag, is the last Sunday of the church year, one week before the first Sunday of Advent. On this day many families in Germany remember their dead, visit the graves and light candles.
Not everyone can go to the grave on this day: the way is too far, the strength is missing, or there is no grave to visit. On Soulium you light a candle on a memorial, add a few words or leave a gift such as a grave light.
Without a memorial, the Hall of Lights is a place for a candle for everyone who is missed. Every candle burns for seven days.
For someone who has no memorial yet, you can create one in a few minutes, free of charge.
