Also known as All Hallows Day, this holiday is commonly celebrated on Nov 1st. It is a time set aside to remember and honor all church saints throughout history.
In the beginning, martyrs were honored on the day of their individual death. Eventually, churches started consolidating them into a single day in order to remember them all at once. This is the origin of All Saints Day. It started in Rome around the 7th Century after Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon.
All Saints Day has a variety of meanings for different churches. Click here if you would like to learn more about this holiday.
