    Default A Peaceful All Saint's Day

    Default Likewise

    Likewise, a peaceful All Saint's or Dia de los Muertos. Remember, every day is a dance with Death.

    Today, for Roman Catholics, is All Souls Day. A day or prayer for those departed and in purgatory awaiting final judgement.

    It's as if a million chrysanthemums suddenly cried out in unison. And then... nothing...

    The 1st is the traditional day when people visit the graves of their loved ones, and put flowers on top. That day is officially a remembrance for the dead. Although there are many who choose another day because the 1st has become one of commerce (flowers) and sometimes hypocrisy (did you notice she used cheap flowers / did not spend a lot of time there).

    The average Belgian spends about 30 euros on flowers to put them on a tombstone.
    The traditional flower is the chrysanthemum, though I do not know why.
