I've lost so many relatives over the years. It is sometimes overwhelming to think of how alone I actually am these days.
I try to remember those who have passed this earthly existence. Not all of them are saints, but some of them are in my limited mortal mind.
Today is All Saints Day aka All Hallows' Day aka the Feast of All Saints aka the Feast of All Hallows aka the Solemnity of All Saints aka Hallowmas.
The day is a Christian solemnity or feast day of the highest rank and is celebrated in honour of all the saints of the church, whether they are known or unknown.
The day is meant for attending Church services and involves the visitation of cemeteries and praying for the dead.
