| linking to James' Weekend Reflections Yes, I know that Halloween is past, but today is All Souls Day or as Mexico titles it-Dia de los Muertos. So I feel that it is suitable.Yesterday was All Saints Day in the Catholic faith. Father gave us a little history about this holy day- Each time there was a martyr for his/her faith, a day was memorialized for that person. Through the years, there were more martyrs than days in a year. Thus, All Saints Day was formed. I like the idea of honoring the dead the way the faithful do in Mexico. Years ago, a student's parent, originally from Mexico, celebrated Day of the Dead with my class. It impacted my first graders and me. This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks for stopping by. I've been really hit or miss on blogging for a long time. With winter approaching, I hope to be a little more active again.
Why not post a little after Halloween image? It works for me.
