All Saints (Omnia Sanctorum) is a festival dedicated to the memory of ancestors which is celebrated no November 1 and it is related to the feast held the next day, the Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead, 2 November. The traditional belief is that no November 1, visit the living and the dead no November 2, the dead visit the living. This festival is one of the oldest in the Christian world. In this day it is a tradicional to visit the cemetery in the town and make a flower offering to all our dead relatives. Some time ago this event was followed by the whole family, adults and children but nowadays only older people go there. The tradicional sweets of Valencia in these days are bunyols de vent, ossets de sant and fogasses. In the old times it was homemade by mothers and daughters but now we all buy them at the bakeries.
