Subject: All Souls Day 2013 at the Tagudin Cemetery



It gets very busy at the cemeteries in the Philippines on All Soul's Day which is usually celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of November, and the Tagudin cemetery is no exception. There was a typhoon passing through but that didn’t stop the people from going to the cemetery. Luckily It did not rain much during the day. It was just overcast which actually made it more pleasant to go to the cemetery because we didn’t have to deal with the heat. It did rain heavily the night before however.

As usual, it was crowded. There were vendors parading their wares all over the cemetery. They were selling all kinds of things such as fish balls, cotton candies, and so on but the most salable items for the vendors were of course candles. I even got a pair of finches for my aviary.

Though crowded, It was nice to see people visiting their departed loved ones. I’ve seen some people having picnics with food they brought with them. The cemetery was a place for some folks to have their family get together. There was a mass held right in the middle of the cemetery which I attended.

Overall, it was a good All Soul's Day in Tagudin this year. It was celebrated peacefully without any problem.
