In the Catholic religion, All Souls Day is a holy day which is set aside for honoring the dead. It is known by different names such Feast of All Souls, All Hallows’ Day, Hallowmas, Feast of All Saints and All Saints’ Day.

   I love the Day of the Dead. I have visited San Francisco’s Mission District during Halloween and it is full of Day of the Dead decorations and costumes.
   These Lady of the Dead costumes are very special.
