Geocache Description:

BOO!

All Saints' Day (also known as All Hallows, Solemnity of All Saints, or The Feast of All Saints) is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. All Saints' Day is the second day of Hallowmas, and begins at sunrise on the 1st of November and finishes at sundown on the 1st of November. It is the day before All Souls' Day.

In Western Christian theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countries. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches, the next day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven. Christians who celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day do so in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual bond between those in purgatory (the 'Church Suffering'), those in heaven (the 'Church triumphant'), and the living (the 'Church militant'). Other Christian traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways; for example, in the Methodist Church, the word "saints" refers to all Christians and therefore, on All Saints' Day, the Church Universal, as well as the deceased members of a local congregation, are honored and remembered.

If you aren't doing anything on November 1, then please join us on celebrating Halloween!

We will be meeting at Halmich Park in Warren, MI at 6:30 pm. PLEASE EAT BEFORE THE EVENT, AS WE WILL NOT BE PROVIDING DINNER. The schedule of the event is as follows:

6:30 Arrive at Halmich Park and go to the reference point below...

(DISCLAIMER: Please try to arrive around 6:45 or don't plan on attending - sorry for any inconveniences)

6:30 - 7:00 Meet and Greet with other cachers who are attending the event. I will also be loading your GPS units with the new caches for the event. Please bring cords for your GPS units so we can give you coords.

7:00 - 8:45 Search for the new caches hid by Team-Gates, Bobo102012, and me! (We will be splitting the crowd up into two so there is not a big crowd at each cache. All event attendees will be able to claim FTF on all of the caches).

8:45 - 9:00 To be announced...

9:00 Enjoy doughnuts and cold cider then cachers are returned to their vehicles.

Big thanks to Bobo102102 for aiding in the construction of this description!
