When is All Souls Day?
Thursday November 2ndOn November 2nd, All Souls Day commemorates baptized Christians who are believed to be in purgatory. All the Faithful Departed is also commemorated on the day.
The souls of the dearly departed are honoured on Both All Souls Day and the Day of the Dead. However, they are not the same, and there are major differences between the two countries. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead began. This day is devoted to the departed's centennial. It's also a day of the dead trying to reunite with their loved ones for a brief period of time.
On All Souls Day, Catholics are encouraged to pray for the souls of their loved ones. They do this because their souls could be in purgatory if purgatory. Sinners are waiting to be cleansed of their sins before ascending to heaven, and this is a temporary place of torture. Purgatory was first suggested in the Middle Ages in 1170. The teaching comes from a passage in the book of 2 Maccabees, which is included in the Catholic Bible. The teaching comes from a passage in the book of 2 Maccabees. Souls die in purgatory if they are not in a perfect state of grace and communion with God when they die, according to Roman Catholics.
The majority of Protestant denominations do not believe in purgatory, so All Souls Day is not observed by most Protestant denominations. Any protestant churches, such as the Anglicans, observe the day by praying for the dead.
