Feast of All Soul's (Commenaration of all the Faithful Departed) also called Defunct' Day or the Day of the Dead. Is based on the doctrine that the souls of the faithful which at death have not been cleansed from venial sins, or have not attoned for past transgressions, cannot obtain Heaven. And are helped through our prayers and that of the mass for All Soul's Day.
First established in 1048. A pilgrim returning from the Holy Land was cast by a storm on a deolate island. A hermit living there told him that amid the rocks was a chasm communicating with Purgatory, from which perpetually rose the groans of tortured souls. Because no one prayed for them. When he returned home, he hastened to the Abbey of  Cluny, and the monks set the date as Nov 2nd to pray for these souls.
