What is All Saints' Day?
All Saints' Day is a feast in honor of every saint in heaven, not only those named on the calendar. It falls on November 1.
It is followed on November 2 by All Souls' Day, which remembers all the faithful departed. Together they shape early November as a time to remember the dead in hope.
How to keep All Saints' Day
Many Christians attend a service, remember loved ones who have died, and give thanks for the example of the saints.
It is a natural day for quiet prayer and for lighting a candle in memory of someone you have lost.
