November 2nd - All Soul's Day











All Soul's Day is a Catholic day of remembrance for friends and family that have died.

This originated from the ancient Pagan Festival of the Dead -- which celebrated the Pagan belief that the souls of the dead would return for a meal with the family. Candles in the window would guide the souls back home, and another place was set at the table. Children would come through the village, asking for food to be offered symbolically to the dead, then donated to feed the hungry.

Set the table. Light the candles. Feed the hungry.

Honor your people.
