Many churches do this for Palm Sunday. Back in Los Angeles there were processionals all the time, but I've never heard of one for All Hallows Eve - what a great idea. Thanks for sharing Derek!

When I was younger in Catholic school, we were encouraged to do this. But I'd never seen it on November 1st at mass.The kids in front of me were dressed in medieval clothing. One looked to be a knight and the other was a king.Re. interaction, although I didn't participate because of other plans, our church had a mass at 1:00 PM on Halloween, followed by a procession with a singing of the litany of the saints. I heard there were at least 30 kids dressed as saints during that. I've participated in processions before, so I know how powerful a witness to Christ they can be to our lapsed neighbors.
