Today is...

All Souls Day

The holiday of All Soul's Day pays respect & remembers the souls of all friends & loved ones who have died & gone to heaven. All Souls Day was started in 998.
Often people will pray to their lost loved ones and even ask for special favors.
All Souls Day is sometimes called the "Day of the Dead". - This is a Catholic Holiday with which I strongly disagreee with... but there you have it.
