Painting of the Parade of Lost Souls by Kathryn E. Shoemaker, from VanCity calendar, 1997. The text reads, "The Parade of Lost Souls is an annual Commercial Drive neighborhood celebration to honour the dead, wake the living and chase away bad luck. After a journey through the streets and alleys, the colourful procession arrives at the Britannia football oval to enact the Russian folktale 'Vasilisa's Journey,' a tale about a young girl's triumph over fear in search of wisdom."  Image used with permission of the artist.
