November first is considered "All Saints Day" here in Southeast Louisiana.
Due to the influence of the the Creole and Catholics, I have found some beautiful traditions take place on November first.
One is the "Blessing of The Graves"
For a history of this tradition, visit link: https://www.nola.com/news/communities/st_tammany/article_5f318a1a-f331-5e60-9c55-c9ed303a7be3.html
Here are two links to the Blessing of the Graves in the area surrounding my home:
Here is a link that discusses the beauty and tradition of All Saints Day in the small community of Lacombe, just north of the lake from New Orleans
A link from an old post here about the beautiful "lighting of the graves" in this portion of St. Tammany Parish
Additionally, November 1, 2016 marks the 50TH Anniversary of the birth of the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!!
Big thing down here in Who Dat Land!!!!
