all saints' day...

In this Halloween season, I am reminded of a family tradition.

As far as I can recall, my family did cemetery trips on the 1st day of November, every year. All Saints' Day is November 1 of each year. I am just wondering why families flocked to the cemeteries on November 1st, which is actually All Saints’ Day, with All Souls’ Day occurring on November 2.

There must be a good explanation for this. So come tomorrow, November 1st, we will still be visiting the graves of our departed loved ones. =)

Tradition simply makes sense, right? =)
