ALL SAINTS' DAY IN PORTUGAL


In Portugal, we celebrate All Saints' Day on 1st November. In the morning, children go from door to door asking for sweets, carrying big bags in their hands. They knock on the doors or ring the bells and shout: “Bolinhos, bolinhos, à porta dos santinhos”, which means “Cakes, cakes at the saints’ door”. People usually organize small bags with treats which they give out to children.
On this day, people remember all their loved ones who aren't here anymore and they go to the cemitery to honour them.
