In years past, it was customary to bake breads and make an offering of a small loaf or bun to the spirits of the family's deceased relatives. Offerings were sometimes left outside the home or an extra plate was set out at the dinner table. While many of the old customs have been long out of practice, baking special breads for this favored autumn holiday is still a fun activity for many families.
