Ano nga ba ang kaibahan ng All Saints' Dat at All Souls' Day, at kailan mas angkop na alalahanin ang mga yumaong mahal sa buhay?
Ang magkapatid na lang na sina Ophelia Barquilla at Elvie Reyes ang dumalaw sa puntod ng kanilang mga magulang sa Loyola Memorial Park sa Marikina City ngayong Huwebes, All Souls' Day.“Iyong pamilya namin, a-uno talaga andito. ‘Yon ang nakasanayan namin e. ‘Yon ang sine-celebrate namin talaga,” ani Barquilla.
Pero paliwanag ni Fr. Danny Pilario, Direktor ng Center of Research and Development ng Adamson University, mas angkop na magpunta ng sementeryo para ipagdasal ang mga yumaong mahal sa buhay tuwing Nobyembre 2 o All Souls’ Day. “Sila ‘yong pinagdiriwang ng All Souls’ Day. ‘Yong mga kaluluwa sa purgatoryo, sila ay dapat nating ipagdasal dahil sila ay nangangailangan ng ating panalangin para sila ay makapunta sa langit,” dagdag niya.
Sang-ayon ang cultural anthropologist na si Dr. Nestor Castro mula sa University of the Philippines-Diliman, na madalas napagtutumbas ng mga Pilipino ang mga santo at kaluluwa. Aniya, marahil ay nag-ugat pa ito sa paniniwala ng mga katutubong Pilipino. “Dapat alalahanin na ang Pilipinas ay sinakop ng Espanya through Mexico, gino-govern tayo through Mexico...Sa Mexico, ‘yong Dia De Los Muertos o Day of the Dead ay ginagawa talaga ng November 1 and 2 so magkasama na All Saints’ Day at All Souls’ Day,” aniya.
