Dear Friends and
Schoolmates,
Today's theme calls for gloomy weather, but here in
Fayetteville, it really isn't. It's ranging from partly cloudy to cloudy, but I
wouldn't call it gloomy at all - and that's just fine with me!

From
http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/common/all-saints-day:
All Saints' Day is a celebration of all Christian saints,
particularly those who have no special feast days of their own, in many
Roman Catholic, Anglican and Protestant churches. In many western
churches it is annually held November 1 and in many eastern churches it
is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. It is also known as
All Hallows Tide, All-Hallomas, or All Hallows' Day.
What do people do?
All Saints' Day is observed by Christians in many countries around
the world. In countries such as Spain, Portugal and Mexico, offerings
are made on this day. In countries such as Belgium, Hungary and Italy
people bring flowers to the graves of dead relatives. In other parts of
Europe, such as Austria, Croatia, Poland, and Romania, it is customary
to light candles on top of visiting graves of deceased relatives. It is
also observed in parts of Asia, such as the Philippines, where people
visit graves of deceased relatives and clean or repair them. They also
lay flowers on the graves and light candles.
In France church services in memory of all the saints are held on
November 1 but by the evening the focus turns towards the dead.
Cemeteries everywhere are crowded with people who come to clean and
decorate family graves. All Saints' Day is closely tied with All Souls'
Day, held on November 2, which is dedicated to prayers of the dead who
are not yet glorified.
... It is not a nationwide public holiday in countries such as
Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States. However,
many Christians observe All Saints’ Day in these and other countries.
Background
According to some sources, the idea for All Saints' Day goes back to the
fourth century when the Greek Christians kept a festival on the first
Sunday after Pentecost (in late May or early June) in honor of all
martyrs and saints. Other sources say that a commemoration of “All
Martyrs” began to be celebrated as early as 270 CE but no specific month
or date is recorded. Pope Gregory IV made All Saints' Day an authorized
holiday in 837 CE. It is speculated that the chosen date for the event,
November 1, may have been an attempt to supplant the pagan Festival of
the Dead (also known as Samhain or the feast of Saman, lord of death).
All Saints' Day is not to be confused with All Souls’ Day, which was
first instituted at the monastery in Cluny in 993 CE and quickly spread
among Christians.
Symbols
Symbols commonly associated with All Saints’ Day are:
- A sheaf of wheat.
- Rayed Manus Dei (hand of God).
- The crown.
- Symbols (including images) of individual saints.
The liturgical color is white on All Saints' Day... |

10/31/16:
Even though Rose
was my best friend, I would have recognized you faster than I did her
(although on closer examination, she looks so very much like her mama in
this shot). What really floored me was that you even knew her that long
ago! You and I lived in Stuart
Gardens and went to
Magruder School; Rosie lived in
North End and went to
Jackson.
Rose and I were members of
Trinity Methodist Church where we met in fourth grade, but you
were not. It dawned on me that y'all must have met in private school.
Did you both attend
Mrs.
Parrish's Private Kindergarten?

- Robin Sue's Mason Jar Self-Buttering Biscuits - "Your
mouth will be watering after one smell of these Mason Jar Self-Buttering
Biscuits. Recipes in a jar could not get any easier than this. Just
butter the insides of the jars and fill them with biscuit batter to make
these flaky treats. These biscuits would go great with a delicious
brunch spread."

- Robin Sue's Pool of
Butter Biscuits - "The thing about biscuits that I do not like is
rolling them out- such a big mess- flour everywhere. Although
thekitchn rolls theirs out, I figured I could simply spread the
dough out in the dish over that big pool of melted butter. You see, in
this recipe you do not cut the butter into the biscuit dough, you melt
it in the dish then bake the biscuits in that golden pool of goodness."

- The Best Apple Dumplings by
The Pioneer Woman via Christy - "Have
you ever heard of a dessert dumpling made with Mountain Dew? It sounds
crazy, we know, but these Easy Apple Dumplings have an unforgettable
flavor that say otherwise. Made with cinnamon and sugar, and baked until
they are golden brown, you have to try them with vanilla ice cream to
get the full experience. Enjoy!"

For All the Saints
- Lyrics by
Anglican
Bishop
William Walsham How
(13 Dec 1823 - 10 Aug 1897), 1864
Music (Sine Nomine - literally, "without name") by
Ralph Vaughan Williams
(12
Oct 1872 - 26 Aug 1958), 1906
For all the saints
who from their labors rest,
Who thee by faith
before the world confessed.
Thy name, O Jesus,
be forever blest.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Thou wast their Rock,
their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their captain
in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear,
their one true light.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
O may Thy soldiers,
faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints
who nobly fought of old,
And win with them
the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
And when the strife is fierce,
the warfare long,
Steals on the ear
the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again,
and arms are strong.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
From earth's wide bounds,
from ocean's farthest coast,
Thro' gates of pearl
streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
