All Saints Day; a Dog Vlog

[sultana63again]

Actually in Greece 1st of November is the day of two saints only.... Kosmas and Damianos..... the all saints day is another day......

But it was so good that i saw my sweet man and heard the other one! Thank you!

[dagocleo]

that's because Greece is orthodox and the Holy days are often on different dates. take care !

Some people in the US celebrate All Saints day or the Day of the Dead but it is mostly immigrants celebrating the Day of the Dead.

It is sort of misunderstood but most holidays are anymore.

It is really a catholic holiday since protestants don't pray to the dead or saints... I guess that is why itis more european than american...

I believe that my parents' parents back in Austria may have celebrated All Saints Day, but while I was growing up we never did... My mother still goes to Catholic church almost every Sunday, but she never insisted that we go. I think it was because my father wasn't very religious, and I'm glad I was allowed to choose for myself...

Still, when there is an opportunity to visit our dead we go and visit, but it can be any day of the year...

it is celebrated in Austria. I love visiting my ancestors tombs but I'm not into praying to them... my christianity is a mixture of the different traditions that I know but I'm rather anti-clerical in a way... I don't like people telling me how to believe in a close minded way...

I never seem to hear much about All Saints Day. I'm not sure if it's just not celebrated much in the US or maybe just not in this area.

[dagocleo]

it really is a catholic thing and much more in Europe it seems.

My family used to have an event called "Decoration" where every summer we would meed at the family cemetery and add flowers and clean and then share a meal together.

Your country looks very nice, didn't know you have fall this time of year, as we do in my part of the states.

[dagocleo]

Have a peaceful All Saints Day.:) I don't think we ever really celebrated All Saints Day and I was raised Catholic (except for Mass). It's interesting what holidays are celebrated the most in different places.

[dagocleo]

I remember it as a kid but since I left the catholic church we don't have it in the protestant traditions...

[cozzyk]

I don't know that many honor All Saints day in the US perhaps they do. All you hear about is the halloween masks and horror really.

[dagocleo]

we live in a catholic part of the country so it is still a holy day here. It is not a festive day in the protestant tradition though. My church does not mark it as anything special.
