Halloween (or All Hallows Eve) on October 31 is the big holiday, and All Saints Day on November 1 is the big holy day. But November 2 shouldn't be forgotten. It is All Souls Day, dedicated to the remembrance of all the dead (not just the saints), especially family members. It's a Christian tradition, but many cultures and countries commemorate the dead in the autumn months on the threshold of winter. This year at our house we have particular reason to remember one of the departed today. Rest in Peace, Devona.
