Undas 2012
It's been a Filipino tradition that every first of November, we visit the tombs of our deceased loved ones and offer prayers, flowers and candles. We call this Undas or Araw ng mga Patay (Halloween in English). Basically, this is like a happy family reunion! :) In this day, tombs are cleaned or repainted, candles are lit, and flowers are
offered. Some families even camp in cemeteries and spend a night
or two near their relatives' tombs. Eating, drinking,
singing, dancing, and telling old family stories are common activities in the cemetery.
