HONORING OUR SANTOS: TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS FOR REMEMBERING THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED (FLORA'S LEGACY Book 2)

This book isn€t about death €¦ it€s about life. At some point in our lives, each of us wonders what the meaning of life is, why we are here, and what the purpose is. The meaning of life itself begins within us €“ with what we are made up of in our historical sense, in the way we handle what comes to us in life; in our foundation. And foundation, comes from our history; those before us in our lineage and bloodline.
The title of this eBook is Honoring Our Santos because Santos, or saints as it is translated from Spanish, has many interpretations. Many would consider those who have given their lives for others, saints. And, of course, many people are aware of the more familiar saints such as Mother Teresa who had devoted her life for giving to others. No one really would argue with these couple examples.
Yet, Santos can also refer to people in our own families who may have been significant and influential presences in our lives. In my family, we believed that many of our deceased family members could be considered saints.
This eBook discusses ways to honor our Santos though a variety of topics.
€Memorial Day talks about some of the traditional ways to honor our fallen heroes
€Novenas discusses a historical practice of mourning and touches on several other traditions
€Dia de los Muertos is actually a very old tradition with many interesting facets
€And there is a section discussing the various aspects of funerals including some customs and etiquette
Blended with interesting facts, historical references, and personal stories, Honoring Our Santos is a valuable resource for ideas on respecting and appreciating our past.
