In many Catholic countries, the remembrance of All Souls’ Day is a cultural tradition in the practice of faith. In Spanish, it is called El Dia delos Muertos, a practice typically observed with food and prayer, close to the fiesta-like celebrations back here. As most Catholics believe there is no better manner of showing love and respect for deceased loved ones than visiting and praying before their graves during this annual holiday. In most other countries, the significance of this day has been mired by Halloween eve celebrations.
