Today is All Saints' Day, a day set aside, in the Roman Catholic Church, to honor the "communion of saints" ----people believed to have achieved heaven "through good works and God's grace."
All Souls' Day, on Nov. 2, is a day set aside to pray for all departed souls---including all our loved ones who have gone before us.
The pretty, colorful cross shown in this post is from El Salvador.
My late husband and I lived in that country, as well as Nicaragua, both in Central America, when we were first married.
The arts and crafts are colorful and just lovely and the Salvadorian people are kind and sweet.
The cross has scenes from the countryside and is kind of primitive but charming in its simplicity.
Hope you have a peaceful and very blessed Sunday!
Have fun.
Enjoy each moment of life.
DO YOU CELEBRATE ALL SAINTS' DAY?

We do celebrate All Saint's Day in the Methodist Church.
I know you will be thinking of him today.
Hugs.
I thought All Saints day honored the Saints and All Souls day honored the dead. I know in Mexico they have the celebration with pictures of the people who have died and so forth. Very pretty cross Susan.
