It is November 1st today. It's not stated in the calendar but today is ALL SAINTS' DAY and ALL SOULS' DAY.
In the Philippines, we usually pay a visit to our dearly departed deceased members of the family, relatives and friends. Cemetery is the busiest place. Flowers and candles are everywhere. Some families stay at the cemetery right by the graves of their loved ones who passed away and offered solemn prayers, lit candles and offered fresh flowers. It was token of respect and appreciation for their unforgettable memories. Other people seemed out of bounds using the cemetery as picnic ground, they brought food and stereo and musical instrument to set the mood. It becomes a happy place! The cemetery becomes the center stage where some people played loud music and sing in accompaniment as if there is a karaoke feat. Well, that was I remember way back then. To think that graveyard is supposedly scary for some people.
Eternal rest grant for those dearly departed who left us and joined our dear Father Almighty, the GOD in Heaven and only one GOD forever, and ever. Amen.
