We just finished commemorating All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, where we honored our departed loved ones.
Both All Saints Day and All Souls Day are religious activities normally celebrated by going to cemeteries. However, it is on All Saints’ Day (Nov. 1) that the majority of the people troop to the resting place of the dead.
We assume that commemorating All Saints’ Day is also basically remembering our dead loved ones, possibly because most names are derived from the names of Saints.
Everyone has the freedom to agree or disagree with us on this assumption of ours.
