  2. The History of All Saints Day • All Saints' Day (also known as All Hallows, Solemnity of All Saints, or The Feast of All Saints) is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. All Saints' Day begins at sunrise on the first day of November and finishes at sundown. It comes before all souls day on Nov. 2nd.

  3. All Souls Day • Occurs on November 2 within the Eastern Orthodox Church. All Souls' Days during the year. The Roman Catholic celebration is associated with the doctrine that the souls of the faithful who at death have not been cleansed from the temporal punishment due to venial sins and from attachment to mortal sins cannot immediately attain the beatific vision in heaven, and that they may be helped to do so by prayer and by the sacrifice of the mass.

  4. In Mexico, Portugal and Spain • In Mexico, Portugal and Spain, offerings (Portuguese: oferendas, Spanish: ofrendas) are made on this day. In Spain and Mexico the play Don Juan Tenorio is traditionally performed. • All Saints' Day in Mexico, coincides with the first day of the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) celebration. Known as "Día de los Inocentes" (Day of the Innocents), it honours deceased children and infants. • Portuguese children celebrate the Pão-por-Deus tradition, (also called santorinho, bolinho or fieis de Deus) going door-to-door where they receive cakes, nuts and pomegranates. This occurs all over Portugal.

  6. Preparing the Spirit to go through the Western Doorway • THE WEST – EPANGISHMOK • “The sun setting in the west signifies the death of a day. And so we die many • deaths in a lifetime. And just as an old thought or feeling dies, and a new one • emerges, we die many deaths in a single day. So there is constant change • within us. We dance around that western doorway many times in a day to • honour the death spirit. • As we move through adulthood, death and loss become more and more visible. In the light of death, it is important that we accept that constant change is here with us.” • http://www.fourdirectionsteachings.com
