Have you heard of it? I'm kind of thinking of it as my father died this year

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Souls'_Day it seems a nice tradition, to remember the dead.

Some of us on the forum were bereaved this year... it just seems so nice to have a special day to remember loved ones who have passed on

Oh and its kind of connected to the Mexican Day of the Dead

Don't know why I find this tradition so heartwarming, but I do. Reminds me of an Irish wake... you celebrate the loved one who's passed on. Mexicans even hold picnics at the graveside.
