What Exactly is All Souls Day?

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing... Ecclesiastes 9:5

"All Souls’ Day or the Day of the Dead is normally celebrated, primarily by Roman Catholics, on November 2.
This is a day dedicated to prayer and almsgiving in memory of ancestors who have died.
People pray for the souls of the dead, in an effort to hasten their transition from purgatory to heaven by being purged and cleansed from their sins."
