Today the Catholic Church and many other Western traditions celebrate the Saints who have gone on to Heaven before us. Also called the Feast of All Saints, you would probably not be surprised to learn that there is some feasting involved. So, if you want to eat big today, this is a good excuse. Hehehe. Many nations have their own twists on the holiday, including laying wreaths on tombs, cleaning and repairing family tombs, placing flowers and candles at family tombs, or taking sweet cakes from door to door. It is sometimes observed with the Day of Innocents in Mexico, which remembers the deceased children and infants. In short, it is a good way to get some family time, to remember those who have gone on before, and maybe a good excuse to have some good food. Or maybe some of that candy you may have picked up the night before. Hehehe.
