All Saints Day When: November 1st The Christian holiday of All
Saint's Day honors and recognizes all of the saints of the
christian church, many of which were martyrs. The church sets this
day aside to celebrate over 10,000 recognized saints. Historically,
All Saints Day was known as Hallomas. Did you know? All Saints Day
and All Souls Day was originally in May. They were moved to
November 1st and 2and to downplay the Pagan holidays of Halloween
(All Hallow's Eve) and Dia De Loss Muertos. Religious leaders felt
these holidays were too popular at the time to ban outright. But,
if moved the christian holidays to this time periods, the pagan
holidays would slowly die away.......
