All Saints Day, a significant feast within the Catholic tradition, is celebrated on November 1st. Following All Hallows Eve, it is a day to honor all the known and unknown saints who have gained everlasting life in Heaven. It also aims to recognize all the saints who may not have a feast day in the liturgical calendar, celebrating their profound impact on the faithful.

The importance of All Saints Day (also known as All Hallows Day) in Catholicism, a Holy Day of Obligation, lies in its focus on the communion of saints—a key belief that saints continue to intercede for those on Earth. This article will give you a history lesson, take you on a trip around the world, and inspire deeper faith by examining traditions, meaning, and a Psalm.
