Happy All Saints Day

Yesterday many people celebrated Hallowe'en (the eve of All Saints Day).

Whatever your religious belief may be, perhaps today we should celebrate those Saints and martyrs who spent their lives dedicated to, or even dying for what they believed in.

To live and die for what you believe in takes courage, so...

Happy All Saints Day!

In belgium that involves thinking about the ppl that died and go visit their grave. Its a tradition that ppl 50+ mostly do. But around here its usually to show of their new clothes and to show ppl 'look i'm going to the graveyard!) ... while they only go once a year.

I try to go every two weeks, always take my son with me. Dunno why tho .. i'm not a christian (well i am but i'm not) I dont believe in an afterlife but its the last thing of them and going there is like visiting them...
