All Souls Day is the time for us to visit the dead ones and offer some prayer to them. But prior to that day people are busy cleaning the tomb, painting and some other things that they need to do in the cemetery. And you know what, I'm just wondering why people in some rural areas in the Philippines have this weird belief. They are offering food to their dead ones during All Souls Day by putting food in the altar of their house. And that's because they believed that the spirit of the dead will roam around visit their relatives and friends. Is it not weird? What do you think?
for filipinos it is not weird, it is a tradition handed down thru generations.
