All Souls' Day

All Souls' Day is observed on November 2nd and is a day in the Catholic Church dedicated to honoring and praying for the deceased. It follows All Saints' Day, which celebrates canonized saints. On this day, believers remember the souls in purgatory—those who have died but are not yet ready to enter heaven. Practices often include attending Mass, lighting candles, and visiting graves to pray for loved ones. All Souls’ Day emphasizes the importance of remembrance, reflection, and the belief in the continued connection between the living and the deceased within the Christian faith.
