Do you still go home for All Saint's day?

It isn't that much of an important day for us here in the states. My loved ones are buried in another state from where we live. This means that we really aren't able to go and spend a lot of time with our loved ones on a regular basis. However, we do make the point a couple times a year to go up there and visit their graves because my belief is that visiting their graves is the closest that I will ever be able to get to spending time with them again.

My mom's grave is just a few miles away from our home so we don't encounter problem like yours. But, I just want to share my insights to your dilemma. I think it's not practical to go home just to celebrate All Saint's Day. You can visit your grandparents grave anytime of the year if you have chance to do so.

Nope we don't go home to our province anymore because it would be very impractical. Besides our schedule wouldn't permit us anyway. Of course we only offer our sincerest prayers to the souls of our family members and friends who had gone ahead.

Before when i was still a student, me and my family would make it a point that we go home to our hometown during all saints and especially during the all souls day. This is the only time we can visit our relatives that have already left us in peace. But now that i am working and most of my sisters too, only my parents and younger siblings would go to our province. I only pray at home for the souls of my relatives who have already past away and sometimes i light a candle too while praying.

Yes, all Saint's Day is an important day for Filipinos. It's usually when families and friends from all over get together to pay respects to their relatives and friends who passed on. For me it has become a whirlwind of activities, some of them religious ones. I haven't really gone home for this day in a while since I moved to a different place because of work, but I am looking forward to going home for All Saint's Day this year.

Same like you im just praying the soul of my love ones who passed away from our home cause its more practical to my family if we go to our province which is very far.

All Saints' Day used to be a "looking-forward" event for us, family. It's an occasion where people flock to visit their loved ones not necessarily the ones who were already gone but more so, relatives who are still living. I would agree that it's been a customary thing for us Filipinos, but I would say also, that compared before, where this occasion was synonymous to having a festive mood where foods and liquors were even brought in the cemetery, a lot of things have changed now. With the advent of family migrating to other countries, not to mention people getting hooked-up with computer technologies and internet, going to the churchyard has become a thing of the past already. Sad to say, fewer and fewer people get to practice doing this.

My culture doesn't really celebrate All Saint's Day, but I think it's a great holiday of great importance! I live near my family, but all of my family members that have passed away are buried in a cemetery 1300 km away from where I live. So while I do visit their graves whenever I can, I wouldn't be able to visit them every year on All Saint's Day... I'm just not financially able to.

i am near to my province where my father was but i can't go home this time. I have covenant with my sister that if my husband doesn't yet go for work abroad i can't go home yet. So first let my husband go for work then i can go home tomy hometown and visit my mother. That is our tradition here in the Philippines.

Yes I do go home for All Saint's Day.Because is the most important day for our loved ones who have rest in peace already.I go to cemetery this day,bringing flowers and candles an put it to the graves of my loved ones.After that, we attend a mass.
