What is All Souls' Day?

Lit candles in a church graveyard during Allhallowtide
All Souls' Day is a celebration to remember those who have died (in particular one's relatives). It always falls on
November 2 and is preceded by
Halloween on October 31 and
All Saints' Day on November 1. Together these three days of remembrance of the dead form the triduum (a religious observance lasting three days) of Hallowtide or Allhallowtide. People traditionally visit the graves of deceased relatives during this time.
Known liturgically as the "Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed", All Souls' Day is often seen as a continuation and extension of the All Saints' Day celebrations conducted the day before. While All Saints' Day is dedicated to those who are in heaven, All Souls' Day is a day of prayer for those who have died but have not yet reached heaven. The custom of placing lit candles on the graves of deceased relatives on All Saints' Day often continues into All Souls' Day.
All Souls' Day is related to the Mexican festival
Day of the Dead (in Spanish "
Día de los Muertos") and the ancient Celtic seasonal festival
Samhain to mark the end of the harvest and to remember the dead that is celebrated from sunset on October 31 to sunset on November 1.
