Fun Fact: All Souls Day is also known liturgically as The Commemoration of All Faithfully Departed.

This day reminds us of our belief that all Christians that ever lived, are living, and will ever be, are bound together in one Communion – the Body of Christ. 

 

What should we do on All Souls Day? It's a day for being with family, visiting cemeteries, sharing memories of loved ones, and honoring traditions. 

Much like Halloween in other countries, All Souls Day is marked by the consumption of impressive quantities of sugar – particularly in the form of frutta martorana, beautiful marzipan sweets in the shape of fresh fruits and vegetables, and ossa dei morti, almond biscuits.
