The ritual of welcoming and honoring ancestors is an ancient spiritual practice found in many cultures and traditions. We are grateful for their gifts, their lessons, and their challenge; for “What they dreamed be ours to do.” Today we remember and express gratitude to our own particular ancestors: family roots, spiritual mentors, and those who touched our lives and guide us on our way.
