all saints day

i love november!

today is the first day of november, which is the best month ever.

happy all saints day!

today also happens to be the day we celebrate and remember the saints. generally we remember those who have passed on within the past year. tomorrow is all souls' day. not sure exactly what the difference is...

so today, i will not just celebrate my favorite month but also take time to educate.

saints =
a. dead people. anyone who has passed on
b. good people. anyone able to perform good deeds.
c. holy people. anyone able to perform miracles.
d. living people. anyone who makes a difference in life.

in other words, saints can be anyone. but we (b, c and/or d) mainly celebrate the dead saints (a, b and/or c) on all saints day.

note: this is not the catholic understanding of saints, who are a and c. souls (tomorrow's holiday) are a and b.

so here are some saints (a, b and/or c) that i've said good-bye to this year and remember today:
