Excerpt from Month of the Dead: Or, Prompt and Easy Deliverance of the Souls in Purgatory The practice of the Month Of the Souls in Purgatory is spreading more and more. It bids fair to become as popular as that Of the Month of Mary. Its origin is very ancient, and, under a different form, we find it among the Jewish people, long before the Chris tian era. The proof Of this we find in religious journals of our period, and especially in the Opinion dz; a French paper.
