251. November 2nd is All Souls' Day

November Second is a Christian feast day of prayer and remembrance for the deceased, known as All Souls Day, observed by the Roman Catholic Church, some Anglican and Lutheran denominations, and various Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches. Christians honor the departed through prayer, Mass, and acts of charity, with many traditions involving visiting cemeteries to decorate graves. The observance grew out of earlier Christian traditions of praying for the dead. The practice has roots in the belief that the living can assist those who have died through prayer, love, and sacrifice. It’s the last day of Allhallowtide, a Christian season which lasts three days that also includes All Hallows' Eve (also known as the secular Halloween on October 31st) which initiates Allhallowtide, and concludes November second with All Souls' Day.
