The All Souls Procession Weekend
“MMOS’s flagship event began as an individual performance piece by Tucson artist, Susan Johnson in 1990. Today All Souls has now become one of the most authentic public ceremonies in North America today. Over 150,000 people from all walks of life come together every fall in Downtown Tucson to commemorate, honor, mourn and celebrate the passing of our ancestors and loved ones.
In the months leading up to the Procession, free, family-friendly workshops are offered to the public. In addition, MMOS gives people the opportunity to experience the event through projects like the Urn and Video Ancestry Project.”

About 20 of us participated in multi-faith remembrance chanting at Sacred Space, with discussions about a loved one we remember (mostly fathers). We wrote these remembrances on cards to be burned in the urn at All Souls Procession, taken by one of the attendees. More on Sacred Space at:
