this date was chosen to follow the day of All Saints, november 1, celebrating the remembrance of all roman catholic saints  - as the religious believe that all people, even if not canonized, enter a state of grace after death.

on a lighter side, Since 2007 on november 2nd a growing number of 'dead-walkers' take over the beautiful coast of Copacabana on the Zombie Walk - With hundreds of participants in last year's edition, it is safe to say that this is one new tradition that has come to stay - an instant classic.

appropriately, The date for this fun march is the Day of the Dead, and the hundreds of people which join together on this occasion are summoned through social networks, where, after the event, they post and upload pictures, videos and even short films created with the scenes and inspiration gathered in the walk along Avenida Atlântica.
