 | | The traditional Portuguese Halloween, known as dia das bruxas (witches' day) is observed in the night of April 30 to May 1; it is not related with All Saints Day and is not widely celebrated. | | | 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. |

| | Latter-day Saint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A Latter-day Saint is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). | | | Some have used the term "Latter Day Saint" to refer to any members of any of the churches involved in the movement of Mormonism which began in the 1830s and had small groups break away from the main body of saints, but such usage is much less common. | | | The British spelling "Latter-day Saint" with the hyphen originated in 1852 when the LDS Church was incorporated in Salt Lake City, Utah, but a similar term "Latter Day Saint" was used in reference to members of the church from its conception in 1830. |

| | The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is commonly known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church. | | | Latter-day Saints believe that their church is the authentic restoration of the church established by Jesus Christ in New Testament times. | | | Central to the nature of the church is the concept of continuing revelation; the Latter-day Saints believe that the living prophet receives divine revelation for the guidance of the modern 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. |
