All Souls' Day
Celebrated annually on November 2nd, All Souls' Day is an event that has become traditional in the Catholic Church. According to the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB), this date represents a demonstration of love and faith in life after death. According to the entity, the date should not only be seen as a moment of mourning, but also of hope.
The National Conference of Brazilian Bishops (CNBB) recommends three practices for the month of November, dedicated to the memory of the deceased:
Visit cemeteries: in addition to paying tribute, the guideline is to pray at the tombs and profess faith in the resurrection of the dead.
Offer masses for the deceased: participate in religious celebrations for the dead, especially those in need of mercy.
Practice charity: forgive, promote reconciliation between family members and help people in situations of poverty.
