a Bunch of Flowers for Dead Persons


In the old days, some western Catholic thought live people have to clean an evil soul in order to send them to heaven. That is the origin of this festival. In the 16th century, The Reformation broke out so some people thought this festival is informal Catholic event. However, a lot of people wished to continue this convention so it survived.

The way of visiting to a family tomb is various. Some French and German decorate it with a lot of flower. In addition, Brazilian have no school and work that day. It is just like Japanese Bon festival.
