have you visited your love one's who departed already. Here in the Philippines, we visited love one's who departed every November 1, its in our culture already. How about you guys especially non filipinos, did you do the same practice?

It's rainy. We just stayed in the house of our grandmother. Light some candles offer some food in the altar. My father and uncles sleep in the "musuleyo" last October 31. Then my auntie leads prayer for the departed love-ones.
Yearly we go to the cemetery together with our relatives. Then the owner of the memorial garden always have special at daytime, live band at night and fireworks display at night. It's a tradition in our place in Batangas.

Wow! is these things really happened? I mean live band at night and have some fireworks display never have the chance to watch these things on this occasion. Anyway, as you said it was a tradition in your place, here in our place we just visited on november 1 or before. Have some prayers and lighted candle at our house.

Yes, we visited last Sunday..to avoid the crowd,and stampede. 
We only stayed for a little while though... But i don't really get why we Filipinos visit the cemetery on Nov. 1, All Saints Day...instead of Nov. 2 which is All Souls Day..
