All Saints' Day Yet People are Flocking to the Cemeteries for All Souls' Day

Tweet

It is November 1 now, and people begun flocking to the cemeteries to pay respect to their departed loved ones. Usually, this day is dedicated only for the saints who were designated by the church for their miraculous and meritorious deeds while they were alive. On this day, masses are being held at the churches to give thanks and pray for the saints' guidance on the lives of the living, but maybe due to changing times, people go to the burial sites of the departed to offer them flowers, candles and prayers. Later in the day, we will have a family bonding at the memorial park where my parents and four brothers were buried. It is such a nice time when we have small chats and laughter. How do you celebrate Halloween?
