As in previous years, on November 1, on All Saints 'Day, and on the next day (All Souls' Day). Poles visit cemeteries to decorate the graves of their relatives with flowers and light candles.
On this day, so special for all of us, I would like to cordially invite you to a meeting at the Vestre Gravlung Cemetery. At the grave of fallen Polish Aviators and Cichociemni.

For us, the grave at Vestre Gravlund is a symbol of the graves of all those close to us who have passed away and are buried in distant cemeteries. It is also a symbol of the graves of all Poles who died in the fight for freedom and independence of our homeland. They are resting in a foreign land, far from their families. Let the candle light that we light up together on this special day for all of us testify to the memory of our loved ones and the bonds with those who have passed away, let it be a tribute to our Heroes and bring us all together in prayer and reflection.
We would like to kindly inform you that we are meeting, together with Polish scouts, at the Vestre Gravlung Cemetery on 01.11. at. 10, common prayer for those who have passed away will be led by a priest from the parish of St. Hallvard in Oslo.
We cordially invite you.
Please follow the sanitary and epidemiological regulations.
Poważaniem Z,
Anna Śmiałek-Grzyb
Counselor / Consul of the Republic of Poland
. The monument is as neat as ever.
The care taken for the Polish Soldiers' Monument located at Sørkedalsveien 32, 0369 Oslo is amazing. This is supervised by the Polish Newspaper Club in Oslo and the Association Poles in Oslo together with Polish scouts in Norway.
The renovation of the monument took about 4 years and the effect is intentional. At the monument, we have our mast funded by Andrzej Kabat and the organizations mentioned above, as indicated by the sign.
