A day full of remembering our loved ones who already passed away. And for some its a day of scare and horror. But still, this day is made for our loved ones to be remembered. One thing you don’t know is my birthday is on November 1. Some of my friends said that my birthday is unlucky but I think its not. I think its lucky because i got many present from some of my uncle and relatives. We are celebrating the all souls day or the day of the dead in many interesting and cultural ways. In Filipino custom of celebrating all souls day is going to the cemetery, offer foods, clean there burial place or in Filipino “nitso” and of course offer candles and a prayer for their souls. Mexican celebrates the Day of the dead by building a small altar called ” altar de muerto” which is dedicated for their loved ones. Haiti also celebrates Day of the Dead, by playing loud drums and loud music all night at cemeteries to awaken Baron Samedi, the lord of the dead and his mischievous family of offspring, the Gedes. The Gedes can be seen on cemeteries wearing like corpses or undertakers.

See how other people celebrate the day of the dead? They all got many customs in it which shows their nationality and their culture. But still the most important thing on celebrating the All Souls day is to remember our loved ones. Happy All Souls Day!
