All Saints and All Souls Day are very important days here in the Philippines. It's said that people are willing to work on Christmas, during Holy Week, but not on these days.
I think it's partially due to the tradition of remembering, honoring and praying for relatives who have passed away. The other probable reason is that it's a time for family reunions to take place (complete ones, because the departed can be thought to be in attendance as well).
On this day, I greet my departed family and hope they are enjoying their eternal rest.
