All Saints’ Day, celebrated every year on Nov. 1, could be described as “everyone’s feast day.” It honors all of God’s people, known and unknown, who have gone on to eternal life and reminds those of us on earth that we, too, are part of the communion of saints. The saints most people are familiar with are the ones who have been can- onized by the church, meaning they have been officially recognized as holy people whose lives are worthy of imitation. There is no definitive num- ber of how many recognized saints there are.
