What is All Saints Day?

Yes! It's the first day of November 2016! Do you know what we are celebrating today? It's All Saints' Day! All of us celebrated this celebration but we don't know the purpose on why we celebrated it and the meaning of this celebration. So I asked myself a question. What is all about All Saints' day?

What is all about All Saints' Day?

All Saints' Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1. That day is all about the saints of the church who did good for God and for the sake of all people and who attained in heaven. You should not be confused with All Souls' Day and All Saints' Day because All Souls' Day is observed on November 2 and is dedicated to those who have died and not yet reached heaven.

More about All Saints' Day from Wikipedia

All Saints' Day (in the Roman Catholic Church officially the Solemnity of All Saints and also called All Hallows or Hallowmas), often shortened to All Saints, is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honor of all the saints, known and unknown.

In celebrating All Saints' Day, we can pray for them or simply respect them. Tomorrow, we must visit your dead love ones in the cemetery because tomorrow we celebrate the All Souls' Day. We need to love them because many years ago, they protected us in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
