WIKIPEDIA: A soul cake, also known as a soulmass-cake, is a small round cake which is traditionally made for Halloween, All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day to commemorate the dead in the Christian tradition.
Howie Corbett (Rabbit Hole): And then on Sunday we have the cookout. And they'll come over. And then to make them feel comfortable we'll ask a bunch of questions about what the kids have been up to. And we'll pretend that we're really interested. And after that we'll go to sleep.
Clifford Fabro Rivera: Why do People die?
Mercedes Millano Evangelista Fabro Rivera~Khan: That's the Circle of Life. Didn't you watch The Lion King?
Martyn Wendell Jones: More recently, Beni Johnson (Bill’s wife) and other Bethel leaders have been said to practice "grave sucking" or "grave soaking," purportedly a means of absorbing the spiritual anointing of deceased Christians by lying atop their graves.
RABBI FRIED: It has been Jewish practice for millennia for the living to pray at the graves of the deceased. The most common practice is to pray at the graves of the righteous. For time immemorial, Jews have prayed at Maaras Hamachpeila, or the graves of our patriarchs and matriarchs in Hebron, the tomb of Rachel, and similar such locations. Jews approach the graves of their parents or ancestors and ask them to pray for a sick or otherwise challenged person in their families.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio: Pilgrimage to shrines is an eloquent expression of trust in God.
Matthew Kuchem: Advent season that focuses solely on Christ's birth is in tension with our present situation. It turns out that Christmas without the Second Coming is meaningless. A messiah who merely takes on flesh and shares in our sufferings is a comfort—but not a cure. We need a messiah who comes in power to empty the graveyards and to recreate the cosmos.
