All Saints Day in Spain (Todos Los Santos) takes place on November 1st.
It is a very important national public holiday when people from all over
the country return to their town or village to lay flowers on the
graves of deceased relatives. There are few religious days that mean
quite so much to the ordinary people of Spain as this solemn festival.
Most people will visit the graves of relatives and decorate them with elaborate floral displays.The Eucharist, or Mass, will often be performed in the cemetery several times during the day.
