All Saints' Day brings exciting events and traffic rerouting—find out how your city is gearing up for saintly celebrations!
As All Saints' Day approaches, the air is buzzing with excitement and preparations across the Philippines! The Mandaluyong City government has announced a traffic rerouting scheme scheduled for November 1, to manage the expected influx of people visiting cemeteries to pay their respects to loved ones. It’s that time of year when streets transform into bustling pathways of remembrance, and city officials want to ensure that everyone gets to their destination smoothly—without having to fight through a maze of cars!
Meanwhile, Iloilo City is celebrating in style with its first-ever 'March of Saints' at the St. Anne Parish. Fifty-five brave participants donned costumes inspired by various saints of the Catholic Church, parading through the streets in a vibrant spectacle that honors the spirit of the day. It’s a unique event that combines solemnity with festive flair, reminding everyone of the colorful tapestry of the saints that have shaped the faith.
In Monroe County, a list has been released detailing the All Saints' Day Mass times across various parishes in the Diocese of Rochester. This makes it easy for families to come together and participate in prayer as they remember the saints who have gone before them. With church doors open wide, congregants will gather, lighting candles and sharing stories, a beautiful affirmation of community and faith.
While while it may seem that traffic reroutes and saintly processions are unrelated, both events highlight how communities come together in observance of their culture and shared beliefs. It’s a reminder that whether on the streets or in their local churches, Filipinos are finding ways to connect and keep traditions alive.
