All Souls Day-The
Day of The Dead

All Souls Day will be observed to-
day by Catholics throughout the
world, but it is in ravaged Belgium
and battle-scarred France that the
observance is most general. The
thousands Of grief-stricken Catholics
of those countries who have lost their
dear ones in the war will today repair
to the churches and cemeteries and
offer up petitions for the release of
their souls from purgatory. La Fete
des Morris or s'The Day of the Dead"
is the French and Belgian name for
this commemoration.
1T Is matter Of Catholic faith that
the suffering souls in purgatory, who
must undergo a period of expiation
for sins before entering into the com
pany of the blessed, are relieved by
the intercession of the saints in heav-
en- and the prayers and the masses of
the faithful on earth. In the ninth
century st. Odilon, Abbot of CIuny,
set aside a special day to be devoted
to prayers for the dead, and this Gus
tom soon spread and was adopted
by the whole western church,
For many centuries All Souls Day
was observed generally in England
and Ireland, and it was the custom
for persons dressed in mourning garb
to pass through the streets, ringing a
bell, and calling upon all persons to
remember the stricken souls in pur-
gatory. The Irish peasantry believed
that the souls Of the dead were per-
mitted to return to earth on the night
of Nov. End, and before retiring they
left food and fire for the comfort
of the visitors. The windows were
Of hot he oh iOi1
have no trouble in entering, and it
was usually discovered on the follow
ing morning sthat the food had dis
appeared. Certain young scamps who
were far from being spooks were US
ually connected with the disappear
ance of the food, however, and as the
ghosts grew holder, and began to car
~ off portable property as well as
food, the custom came into disfavor.
The same custom obtained in Italy,
and there, too, the thieves reaped a
rich harvest, from the pious belief.
The custom of visiting cemeteries
ON All Souls Day, now general in
many Catholic lands, had a grisly pre-
cedent at Naples, where it was long
the practice to open the charne1
houses on this day. The fleshless
skeletons were ranged along the
walls, which were brilliantly lighted
and bedecked with flowers. and all
day long crowds flocked through the
vaults to gaze upon the grinntng skulls
of their dead relatives.
One of the odd customs Of the
Partisan observance of the day was
the gathering Of mourners at the
graves of dead cats. dogs, horses. and
even monkeys buried in the animal
cemetery on the island Of the Seine.
In these serious times however, It is
to be feared that the deceased four
footed pets Will be neglected and
that few win visit their resting place
today.
