All Souls' Day is observed by Catholics and some Anglicans on the 2nd of November. It is founded on the doctrine that the souls of those who have died without achieving moral perfection may be aided in achieving beatific vision in heaven through prayer and offerings from the living. In Mexico it is celebrated as "Dia de los Muertos" or Day of the Dead. It has its roots in various ancestor veneration customs from around the world, largely from European folklore.
