Not Much of a Saint | Episode 31
Manage episode 447802534 series 3570584
Does anyone else feel like the veil between life and death, this world and the next, thins around this time of year?
Halloween, All Saints Day, All Souls Day, and Dia de los Muertos mark the beginning of the holiday season—a time for family, nostalgia, and deep connection. This week also happens to be my birthday.
From my early childhood, my birthday celebrations often mingled with Halloween themes. But it was on my 18th birthday, while cleaning up a vandalized cemetery, that I found a profound connection to my life’s passion: family history.
For more than 30 years, my experiences have continually revealed the powerful links between life’s celebrations and the remembrance of the deceased. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for cultural traditions that honor those who have passed. It’s not just about looking back—it’s about forging deep connections with our roots and our family, regardless of which side of the veil they are on.
