All Souls’ Day is observed to commemorate and pray for all the faithful departed. All Souls’ Day is a day especially set apart that people may remember and pray for their dear ones who have gone for their eternal reward and who are currently in a state of ongoing purification.

As a mark of remembrance, relatives and friends offer prayers and decorate their loved ones’ tombs with candles and flowers.
