Cemitério São Paulo
Me & my friend Lutch went on a mission to Cemitério São Paulo on Rua Cardeal Arcoverde, 1250, on Tuesday, 10 October 2023. Lutch wanted to visit his Father's grave. I'd told Lucht this Cemetery played a major role in my teenager years for myself, my Mother, Father & siblings lived next to it... sort of a few blocks away on Rua Simpatia, 103 in the early 1960s.
Every 2nd November, Day of the Faithful Deceased (Dia de Finados) this whole neighbourhood acquired an almost amusing atmosphere. Thousands of citizens gladly went out of their way and made a point buying flowers and visit a long-lost-relative's grave to pay respects to them. It is a sort of Memorial or Remembrance Day for all that falls on the next day following All Souls' Day on 1st November.
