Of course, it’s Halloween on Saturday and all the kids are excited, but let’s take a step back to the past and have a look at what All Saints’ Day’s purpose really is. Here, we find a lot of information on the topic and the reminder that All Saint’s Day’s custom was to celebrate a day in honour of all the saints and the next day, All Souls’ Day to commemorate all the departed.

So why don’t you log in on itsourtree.com, have a look at your ancestors and think about a visit to the graveyard at the weekend?
