That is the 1907 edition, and (no offense, Huw!) sounds more authoritative to quote from than "some guy with a blog." Although Huw has his facts straight, others reading this article may want to check out the Catholic Encyclopedia article on All Saint’s Day.

Someone from the Greek Metropolis asked if I would be willing to be interviewed for a podcast on the subject. It's not something I've ever cared enough about to research, so I'll be quoting you.

It's a bit more flavoured by the Christianity than the other things... b/c it is *Catholic* instead of reaction. I like Sugar Skulls :) In California, it is the traditions of Día de los Muertos that gets used by the Neo-Pagan (et al) community. http://www.thealtarshow.org/ I like Día de los Muertos, to be honest.

Many articles relate it to a Mesoamerican religious festival celebrated in August that was moved to November 1 by the Spanish. We get to make sugar skulls and eat them (EEWWW). Some dress in skeletal costumes and dance. Altars are built to dead relatives with their photographs and candles and crosses, etc. So, there you go, more Satanism moved to 1 November! (<== That was irony.) The Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is celebrated widely in Latin America.
