All Souls' Day, also known as the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, is mainly observed in the Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic celebration is associated with the doctrine that the souls of the faithful who at death have not been cleansed cannot immediately attain the beatific vision in Heaven, and that they may be helped to do so by prayer and by the sacrifice of the Mass. In other words, when they died, they had not yet attained full sanctification and moral perfection, a requirement for entrance into Heaven. This sanctification is carried out posthumously in Purgatory. It is not uncommon for those praying to light a candle for those being considered.

Día de Mu***os or Day of the Dead is a predominantly Mexican and Latin American holiday. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember those who have passed. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. Dia de Mu***os falls in conjunction with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day and is celebrated to some degree in many countries with populations of Roman Catholics such as Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Ireland.

November or “No Shave November” has grown in popularity among men since 2007. Around the world, participating men have begun growing moustaches and beards to bring awareness to men’s health concerns that include prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health issues. The moustache has become a symbol of the movement. Many men who do not shave for the month donate their typical shaving expenses to a charity of their choosing.

Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve, is a yearly holiday observed around the world on October 31, the eve before the Western Christian feast of All Hallows. In Gaelic, Welsh, and Celtic cultures, some celebrate Samhain at this time and rejoice in the end of the harvest and the coming of winter and shorter days. It is not uncommon for families to gather around bonfires after dark. Common cultural customs include trick-or-treating, costume parties, carving jack-o’-lanterns, lighting bonfires, bobbing for apples, visiting haunted houses, as well as some religious practices that may include praying, fasting, holding vigils, and attending church service.
