On Facebook, Marcelina posted a request for support. She wants people to know that, despite the cemetery’s closure, she will wait there in accordance with tradition—as always—for those who would like to buy lollipops.
The post Marcelina published on Facebook is being shared, and the author of the appeal is receiving many words of support and kindness.
“Because of the epidemic, we did not sell lollipops at festivals this year. We were preparing to sell them on All Saints’ Day,” says Marcelina. “Unfortunately, our prime minister unexpectedly closed the cemeteries, but I will be at the gate with lollipops on Saturday, Sunday and Monday,” says the vendor.
Hi! For exactly 25 years, it has been my family’s tradition to sell lollipops by the main gate of the cemetery on All Saints’ Day. Surely the vast majority of my friends and friends of friends know exactly what this is about. At 3:40 p.m., Prime Minister Morawiecki announced that the cemeteries would be closed from October 30 to November 2. We are all devastated by this news. More and more people are slowly arriving at the cemetery because entry will be prohibited from tomorrow. I grew up with this tradition, and despite the closed cemeteries, I am determined to stand where I always do—at the cemetery’s main gate with lollipops. I kindly ask my friends for help and for them to share the post. I would like people to know that, in accordance with tradition, we are here and waiting for you. Just as every year, for the past 25 years… Every lollipop sold will help us greatly. Come for lollipops tomorrow, on November 1, and on Monday as well.
Thank you all in advance for your help!
