Halloween is named after this feast. Hallow is an old English word for a saint, so All Hallows' Eve is simply the night before All Saints' Day on November 1. The date goes back to the 700s, when a chapel in St. Peter's in Rome was dedicated to all the saints on that day. This word find stays with the feast itself: the shrine, the relic, the pilgrim and the litany. The costumes and candy live on the site's Halloween grids.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day?
All Saints' Day on November 1 honors the saints, known and unknown. All Souls' Day on November 2 remembers everyone who has died. Both fall right after Halloween.
What does it mean to canonize someone?
To CANONIZE is to formally declare a person a saint. In the Catholic Church it takes years of investigation and usually evidence of a MIRACLE credited to the person, though a MARTYR can be beatified without one.
What is a patron saint?
A saint linked to a place, a job or a cause. Saint Francis of Assisi, who died in 1226, is the PATRON saint of animals, which is why some churches hold pet blessings near his feast day in October.
