Hi,
My mother used to drag us to church both nights.
All the holy days were important to her -- even some of the ones that were not holy days of obligation (like All Souls' Day).


Here are recipes and pics for Pane dei Morti:
You mentioned almonds and cinnamon. This one also has chocolate and dates -- so maybe not exactly what you were talking about:

This one has a step by step guide with pictures:

This one (no picture) has Walnuts instead of almonds and raisins instead of dates.

I used to find baking rewarding.
