All Saints’ Day
November 1
All Saints’ Day is a Christian holiday.
Many Catholic churches in the United States celebrate All Saints’ Day to honor all the saints, particularly those who do not have their own special feast day, on November 1.
All Saints’ Day is also known as All Hallows Tide, All-Hallomas, or All Hallows’ Day, and it’s celebrated in many areas of the United States, especially where there are large Roman Catholic populations.
All Saints’ Day, which is celebrated globally, is closely tied with All Souls’ Day, which was first instituted at the monastery in Cluny, France in 993 CE and quickly spread among Christians. Some eastern churches in the United States celebrated All Saints’ Day on the first Sunday after Pentecost.
