Remembering our once we loved
Recently we again celebrated the yearly commemoration of our loved ones or those who have already departed here on earth, which we call all Soul's day.
In the catholic religion they celebrate this as all saints day on which means is the commemoration of all the saints. Halloween according to what I read about catholic principles, Halloween means is related to saints, making the eve or night to be hallowed or holy.
But in pagans’ belief, it means it is the festival of negative spiritual creatures’ forces in the dark side of the spiritual world.
In humans or in the physical world, to make this festivity to be fun, they bring it out and become part of human festivity.
For me, I always remember this event by commemorating my grandma (on the mother's side) she likes to cook Ilocano delicacy for us in those times like this, she cooked foods so well and deliciously.
She also likes to tell stories about when she was young and those ghosts she encountered. My other grandma on the Father's side like also to cook food. I miss both of them.
She shared some of her beliefs with me, and I would like to share them with you.
Here are some of her old beliefs that I think nowadays it's already faded because humans are harder to scare now.
 1. I wonder if it's true that if you didn't visit them in the camposanto(cemetery) your departed loved ones will also visit you.
2. Cook food for them so that they will not be hungry, and set it aside.
3. If you still have a debt or credit especially money to the departed ones, be sure to pay it, to his/her relatives.
It's good that this celebration became an annual tradition to remind us to remember them, because sometimes in our busy lives, there is always the tendency to forget them. According to what I have read in the Bible, I believe that in the spiritual world, we may still retain our thoughts and feelings. While another theory suggests that our loved ones may not have thoughts or feelings in the afterlife, like the way they had when they were still alive here on Earth. At the very least, we who are still alive will continue to remember them.
