Orthodox Christians came to church and commemorated their relatives there at first. Then they headed for cemeteries. Services for the dead were served in five city churches.
The number of public transport routes heading for cemeteries was increased in the city on that day so that Hrodna inhabitants could use buses and trolleybuses. Driving inspectors worked near cemeteries to help avoid traffic jams.
