It follows All Saints' Day (November 1st) and is dedicated to remembering all the deceased, especially those without relatives to pray for them.
In the Netherlands, Masses are often celebrated on this day, graves are visited, and candles are lit.
The tradition has roots in the 10th century and emphasizes prayer and reflection on mortality and redemption.
In some regions, local customs exist, such as the ringing of church bells.
