Halloween (Oct 31) – All Hallows Eve – is the
day before All Saints’ Day (Nov 1) and the next day (Nov 2) is All Souls’ Day,
when Catholics pray for the souls of the departed. Dia de los muertos in Mexico remembers the departed, especially one’s
ancestors, for whom offerings of food and drink may be presented. Dress up nice and have a good time!
