On this day they visit their dead in the cemetaries. It might make a good missionary opportunity in the future. Of course their cemetaries are a BIT different in that people "rent" a grave - my Spanish father-in-law was there for only 20 years.. then his remains were thrown into a "fossa commun" or common pit.<br /><br />Christmas and Halloween are more for kids since they are supported by commercial interests. Look forward to the "Christas" parades in every village Jan 6th.<br /><br />I love your pics and think of you folks when I pass through Bountiful on my way to the Family History Library.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021159855931081238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380082143931208815.post-49507112502221847722009-11-03T20:29:48.780-08:002009-11-03T20:29:48.780-08:00Poor Elder Ashby!!!
