Remembering to the deads with love,
making them an offering or taking flowers to their tomb.
Lighting the candles to the 8:00 night.
because it is the hour of the Souls.
When you visit the offerings from your friends don't forget the traditional greeting:
Hi pumpkin!

LOS ANGELES TIMES PICK

All hallows day, is a mysterious devotion where there is a mix
of religious and heathen, the dread and scoff.
It is a custom to do songs to the death, or to ridicule she in cartoons
and to eat her in bread.
