ST. PIUS X PARISH Sunday, November 1, 2020

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and be- fore the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Rev. 7:9-10)

All ' Day has been a Christian tradition since the 4th century AD, but it wasn't until 609AD that Boniface IV decided to remember all martyrs. Originally the Feast of All Holy Martyrs, as it was then known, was celebrated on May 13. Then in 837AD Pope Gregory IV extended the holy day to remember all saints, changed its name to the Feast of All Saints and changed the date to November 1. While nowadays we may associate with trick or treating and scary movies, Hallow- een started out as a holy Christian celebration. 'Hallow' in Old English means 'holy' or 'sacred,' so Hallows' Eve or Halloween simply means "the evening of holy persons" and refers to the evening before All Saints' Day.

Pope St John Paul II stressed the importance of All Saints' Day in 2003: “We celebrate today the solemnity of All Saints. This invites us to turn out gaze to the immense multitude of those who have already reached the blessed land, and points us on the path that will lead us to that destination.”
