All Saints’ Day

All Saints’ Day, known as *Día de Todos los Santos* in Colombia, is a significant religious holiday celebrated on **November 1st** each year. It is a day dedicated to honoring and remembering all the saints, both known and unknown, in the Catholic tradition. While it is a solemn occasion, it is also a time for families to come together and reflect on the lives of their departed loved ones. In Colombia, the day is marked by attending **Mass** and visiting cemeteries to clean and decorate the graves of deceased family members with flowers, candles, and prayers. Many people also take the opportunity to share stories and memories of their loved ones, creating a sense of connection between the living and the dead. While All Saints’ Day is a Catholic observance, its traditions are deeply intertwined with Colombian culture, blending religious practices with local customs. It is a day of reverence, remembrance, and community, emphasizing the importance of family and faith in Colombian society.
