On November 1, the Catholic Church joyfully celebrates the Solemnity of All Saints — a feast that honors all the saints, both known and unknown, who now share in the glory of God. In the Philippines, this day is lovingly called “Undas,” a term that reflects the nation’s deep faith and family-centered devotion. It is a time when Filipino families visit cemeteries, light candles, offer prayers, and remember their beloved dead in the light of Christian hope.
