About All Saints Day

All Saints' Day, also known as All Hallows' Day or Hallowmas, is a Christian holiday celebrated on November 1st. It honors all Christian saints, known and unknown. In many Catholic and Christian-majority countries, it is a public holiday.

The holiday has roots in the early Christian church, which dedicated one day to collectively honor all saints who had no individual feast day. Pope Gregory III in the 8th century established November 1st as the date for All Saints' Day in Rome.

All Saints' Day is particularly significant in Catholic countries including France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, and many Latin American nations where it is a public holiday involving visits to cemeteries and prayers for the dead.
