Today is Halloween. A day when parents dress their children up in costumes to look like their favorite super hero, movie character, or what have you to take them door to door tick or treating for candy. People like me either sit on their porches or by the door waiting to see what children will come to their house.
Some places will have truck or treats. Some places the fire departments will have a family friendly party. People will head out to whatever it is this evening. Some people will not celebrate the holiday for one reason or another and that is ok.
Tomorrow however, is a holiday that goes unnoticed. All Saints Day is one that people usually don't celebrate. This is a day to remember all those who passed away in the last year. In the church we use to have a moment of silence for those who passed in the last year.
All Saints Day is not just a day to remember those passed in the last year, but also a day to remember those that have gone on before us. It is a day to remember that they lived a good life and one day we will see them again.
So if you celebrate Halloween tonight remember to celebrate All Saints Day tomorrow too.
