November 1, All Saint’s Day

Yesterday was a Catholic holiday. A holy day in which Saints are to be honored. It is called All Saints Day. Halloween (which is not an official American holiday) began and in it’s original naming was called All Hallow’s Eve.
But in modern day, All Saint’s Day has been mostly uncelebrated and Halloween has become one of the hugest money making celebration days of the year. Mrs. Happy Housewife celebrated All Saint’s Day yesterday with her children. She has a game on her site that you learn about people who followed after God and lived good and honorable lives.
