| | All Saints - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The chosen day, May 13, was a pagan observation of great antiquity, the culmination of three days of the Feast of the Lemures, in which were propitiated the malevolent and restless spirits of all the dead. | | | All Saints is also a Christian formula invoking all the faithful saints and martyrs, known or unknown. | | | This custom is also referred to in the 74th homily of John Chrysostom (407) and is maintained to the present day in the Eastern Orthodox Church. |

| | ALL SAINTS DAY |
| | All Saints Day has always been observed not only as an opportunity for the Church to project to her living membership Christian ideals to be emulated, but also as an opportunity to establish a unity between the Triumphant Church of Christ in heaven and His militant one on earth. | | | The present day of celebration of the feast of All Saints goes back at least to St. John Chrysostom, who in one of his homilies in Constantinople says that the commemoration of the Martyrs of the Universal Church was observed on the first Sunday after Pentecost. | | | And though the day of commemoration varied among the various local Churches, the faithful of the Christian Church at large felt the need not only to commemorate the life and martyrdom of those athletes of the new faith, but also to establish a communion with them. |

| | Both the Feast of All Saints and the Feast of All Souls evolved in the life of the Church independently of paganism and Halloween. | | | In the early days of the Church, the names of the faithful departed were posted in Church so that the community would remember them in prayer. | | | herefore, All Souls Day as well as all Saints Day are rooted in Christian belief and arose in the life of the Church through a healthy spirituality. |

| | All Saints' Day |
| | All Saints' Day was originally a commemoration of the martyrs of the ancient church, the men, women, and children who were persecuted and killed for their faith in Christ. | | | All Saints' Day is a very special festival, one that enriches the worship lives of all who observe it. | | | The communion of saints therefore includes both those still living on earth and those who have died in the faith and are now living in heaven. |

| | These are saints of God who in humility of Spirit but freedom of conscience refused to follow the culture or church when their institutions oppressed people and opposed God's own beloved children. | | | Today is All Saints Day in the church. | | | But saints are also the nameless and unremembered people whose stories are not so renowned, who have gone through life without calling attention to themselves but building and planting and giving life to those who encounter them. |

| | Recognizing saints, who were by definition deceased, covered a lot of the same ground, but the converts were still fascinated by the idea of their familiar dead returning to the world of the living. | | | Officially, the Church chose this new date to mark the papal dedication of a church honoring the saints. | | | In any case, when All Saints' Day moved to November 1, the church did begin to incorporate Samhain traditions into the holy day's activities. |

| | If you truly believe that praying to the saints is a practice to which we engage and believe that saints go to heaven directly after death, even though in truth there are some verses such as 1 corinthians 15:52 and 1 Corinthians 3:12, and the book of Revelation. | | | It is not taught by the church to pray "to" saints but has been practiced in the past and this has been misunderstood by Protestants as if it is some kind of Catholic doctrine, it is not. | | | But all I feel confident to say about the after life knowing that I am 100% correct is that he that confesseth with his mouth the Lord Jesus and Believeth in his heart that God hath raised him from the dead shall be saved. |

| | All Saints Day |
| | Some are surprised to hear that the day after Halloween has a name: "The feast of All Hallows (Saints)." Maybe they find this feast an anachronism, or perhaps some still think it distracts from our proper worship of God. | | | This concept is very deep in Christian tradition and we profess it in the ninth item of our Apostles' Creed which outlines the beautiful doctrine of "the communion of saints." Members of the church triumphant, from their vantage point close to God, help us who are still struggling. | | | Reading lives of saints inspired St Ignatius Loyola to set out on his spiritual journey which resulted in the Jesuit Order. |
