All Saints' Day
A Christian Feast day commemorating all the saints, which may
include those named by the Church, those not known by name,
and special remembrance of loved ones who have died in the past
year. All Saints' Day is a Christian holy day observed by many
Western churches (especially Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Episcopalians,
and Lutherans) on November 1 and by Eastern churches on the
first Sunday after Pentecost. It is a day of obligation when
Roman Catholics attend Mass. Protestant churches often observe
this day at worship services the first Sunday in November. |
