ALL SAINTS DAY

Many people right now are going to the cemetery to visit their departed love ones. As expected, many people would be visible in the graveyard than in the malls. All saints day is the only day dedicated to those who already passed away. It old belief, all saints day is said to be the day that souls of dead people would get up and socialize with their visiting relatives. That is why every all saints day you would see many horror movies about ghosts and other elements that could frighten people.

In some countries, the term Halloween is used and they would dress up in many scary costumes. From vampires, mummy, elf and even Osama Bin Laden are now being part of Halloween scary costumes. Like always, we would visit our departed relatives in all saints day. I just got home from the cemetery. I am all wet and in chill because of the heavy rain that poured like hell! I like that term!

Things like candles, flowers, gravestone artist are very visible during all saints day. I think celebrating all saints day is good. Because we get to remember our departed love ones as they sleep eternally six feet below the ground. Just a little trivia. Did you know why it is called six feet below the ground? Well, it is because that is the prescribed by the health office that a cadaver should be dug and covered with soil. Less that six feet would mean that the dead body's smell would still come out of the ground. Nobody wants to smell a cadaver that would be unsanitary to all.
