| Communion of Saints with Resurged Jesus From "The Life of the Holy God" by Otto Bitschnau |
History
The Solemnity of All Saints in one of the older feasts
of the Church. The first time we hear of it being celebrated was in the year
373. Pope Gregory III set the date of November 1. On this day, we honor all
saints, the ones we know by name and the ones who are known only to God.
Activity
Today is a Holy Day of Obligation,
so be sure you go to Mass! Also, you should plan a special dinner or dessert –
no fasting today, even though it’s Friday, because solemnities always take
precedence. If possible, visit the graves of loved ones (you can also do that
tomorrow, which is the Feast of All Souls).
