All Souls Day, also known as the Commemoration of All Faithful Faithful, is a day of prayer that is observed by Catholics and other Christian denominations annually on November 2
In other words, it is the day that Roman Catholics and Anglo-Catholic churches commemorate and remember the souls of those who have died
The day is also called Feast of All Souls, Day of the Dead in Hungary, France, Italy and Ecuador, and Day of the Dead in Mexico
What is All Saints Day?
The purpose of the day is to remember and pray for the souls who are in purgatory, it is a place or a state of suffering inhabited by souls who atone for their sins before going to heaven
History
In Christian tradition, All Saints Day was popularized by French monks who designated a specific day to remember the dead in 998 AD
It started as a local feat but quickly spread throughout the Catholic Church over the next century.
Traditions
The main traditions of the feast of souls are associated with the notion of purgatory Bells ring to comfort those who are cleansed and candles are lit to guide poor souls languishing in darkness In many countries cakes are distributed to children Singing and prayer meetings are also organized
Observance is very different in Mexico, where the day is generally described as a day of celebration rather than mourning.
