All Saints' day is celebrated every 1st of November in honor of all saints whether known or unknown. It is the day that we commemorate the saints and is consider a National Holiday for some Catholic countries, specifically here in the Philippines.
All Souls' day is celebrated the day after, honoring those of have departed us.
In my Opinion, Catholics celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day to pay their respects or give time to their beloved ones who have departed. Annually, it is the day when relatives gather to the memorial spots of the ones they loved who have died.
One problem of these holidays is that people tend to forget that November 1 is All Saints' Day. People celebrate November 1 as All Souls' Day, which actually should be celebrated the day after.
Let us pay our respect this day to All the Saints of have given their full commitment to God and let us share at least a prayer for them to know that we haven't forgotten their day.
