Sunday, November 1, 1 -3 pm, Odd Fellows Hall
— from Gretchen Krampf —
As the days grow shorter, our thoughts naturally turn to remembrance. Across many cultures, the autumn season is associated with remembering the departed and honoring their lives.
Both the Christian holy days of All Saints Day (Nov. 1) and All Souls Day (Nov. 2) are celebrated at this time, and the associated Day of the Dead, a festive occasion in Mexico where people honor relatives by bringing food and flowers to the cemeteries.
We invite our Orcas Island Community to join in “Honoring Our Ancestors” on Sunday, November 1 at Odd Fellows Hall from 1-3PM.
Please bring images, symbols and remembrances of your ancestors, and finger food to share.
