ALL SOULS DAY
(November 2)
In the Philippines, we honor our dead with prayer and remembrance, with requiem masses and visitations to the grave sites of our loved ones. Some of the familiar traditions related to this day can be traced back to the ancient past of the Filipinos.
For instance, the lighting of candles and the offering of food leading to feasts are customs and practices of our ancestors before the Spanish occupation and the coming of Christianity to our land.
