Let us take me to pray for the dead All Saints' Day All Saints' Day (also known as All Hallows' Day or Hallowmas) is the day aer All Hallows' Eve (Hallowe'en). It is a feast day celebrated on 1 November by Anglicans and Roman Catholics. Remembering saints and martyrs and dedicang a specific day to them each year has been a Chrisan tradion since the 4th century AD, but it wasn't unl 609AD that Pope Boniface IV decided to remember all martyrs. Originally 13 May was designated as the Feast of All Holy Martyrs. Later, in 837AD, Pope Gregory IV extended the fesval to remember all the saints, changed its name to Feast of All Saints and changed the date to 1 November. [When] we celebrate the solemnity of All Saints [we are invited] to turn our gaze to the immense multude of those who have already reached the blessed land, and points us on the path that will lead us to that desnaon (Saint John Paul 11, All Saints’ Day 2003). All Souls' Day All Souls' Day is marked on 2 November (or 3 November if the 2nd is a Sunday), directly following All Saints' Day, and is an opportunity for Roman Catholics and Anglo-Catholic churches to commemorate the faithful departed. They remember and pray for the souls of people who are in Purgatory - the place (or state) in which those who have died atone for their less grave sins before being granted the vision of God in Heaven (called Beafic vision). Whilst praying for the dead is an ancient Chrisan tradion, it was Odilo, Abbot of Cluny (France) who, in 998AD, designated a specific day for remembering and praying for those in the process of purificaon. This started as a local feast in his monasteries and gradually spread throughout the Catholic Church towards the end of the 10th century AD. For the souls in purgatory, waing for eternal happiness and for meeng the Beloved is a source of suffering, because of the punishment due to sin which separates them from God. But there is also the certude that once the me of purificaon is over, the souls go to meet the One it desires (Leer of Saint John Paul 11 for Millennium of All Souls’ Day).
