About Halloween and the Day of the Dead
During this period the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be its thinnest.
It’s a period that involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and to remember close family members and ancestors who have past.
It’s a time to be aware that death is our constant companion, and if acknowledged and embraced, the time of passing in our last rite of passage is one not to be feared.
