What is one interesting fact about them?
On the Feast of All Saints (or All Saints’ Day), commemorates all those who have died and are now in Heaven. The Solemnity of All Saints takes place on November 1st
A saint is someone who has proven himself or herself to be good and holy by following God's teachings, helped others and has entered the kingdom of heaven. A saint is good friend of God.
On All Saints' Day, we celebrate all saints who are in heaven. These include all known Saints like St.Joseph and unknown saints. Everyone is called to be saint & a close friend of God. It is not just for some people.
The day before All Saints’ Day is Halloween. Is there a connection between these two celebrations? Actually, there is but the religious origins of Halloween have largely been forgotten. Halloween is derived from Hallows’ Eve or Hallowmas, which means The Eve of All Saints. The modern term of Halloween was derived from a way of saying All Saints Eve – just as we say Christmas Eve.
