All Saints Day
All Saints' Day
by
Mark Escobar
Today marks the solemnity of All Saints Day. This feast was originally celebrated as a reminder of all martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the sake of their faith in God. This tradition continued until Pope Gregory III in the eighth century (731-741) proclaimed it on November 1 for All Saints when he dedicated a chapel within St Peter to keep there the relics of the apostles and all saints.

Twin Celebrations - Halloween and All Saints Day
by
Jerry Elrod
Halloween and All Saints Day are twin occasions. One, through historical and traditionally cultural celebrations, points to the observance of All Saints Day, which focuses less on the macabre and more on the spiritual. One is no less an occasion for confronting the reality of death than the other.
