Rayera, the precise translation is "The Day of the Dead".  However, on the church calandar here it is called "All Souls Day".  That sound so much nicer than how it is celebrated here.  Our churches are open only at one mass time a week, and locked the rest of the time, unless someone pays for a special mass.  That is not how it was when I was little, but it is now.

Here gives several mass a day and allmost all are open until 9:00 pm specially the downtown old big churches that are churches, museums and some are National monuments too at the same time, in special religious days they are open all day and as I mentioned some concerts too because of the acoustic, but maybe because, as you may know, roman catholic is the oficial religion here, anyway I have a protestant friend that like to go to pray at a catholic church (St Francis Monastery) because of the the special ambient that place has

During my childhood and teen year, our churches were like all of yours too.

After that, everything started to change.  Now most parishes don't even have a single priest, instead they will travel to a church for one mass a week and then when mass is over the clear the building and lock the doors.  It is so different now, from when I was little.

On the inside of the doors I have seen a signs that read "This door to be kept lock at all times except during business hours."  The first time I saw that it was so strange to me, that I froze and stared at it.  It made me feel very sad, and a little lonely.  The bells, statues, alters, etc are disappearing from our churches.

I hope this is true for only our local diocese, but I fear that it is more widespread than here alone.
