All Saints' Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven. It should not be confused with All Souls' Day, which is observed on November 2, and is dedicated to those who have died and not yet reached heaven.
Although millions, or even billions of people may already be saints, All Saints' Day observances tend to focus on known saints --that is those recognized in the canon of the saints by the Catholic Church.
All Saints' Day is also commemorated by members of the Eastern Orthodox Church as well as some protestant churches, such as Lutheran and Anglican churches.
All Saints' Day was formally started by Pope Boniface IV, who consecrated the Pantheon at Rome to the Virgin Mary and all the Martyrs on May 13 in 609 AD. Boniface IV also established All Souls' Day, which follows All Saints

All saints' Day
From the 8th century onwards, the connection between Easter and the "Lord's Day of All Saints" gradually faded, so that it was first celebrated in Ireland on November 1st. Easter was no longer in the foreground, but the passing nature: at the beginning of November, winter and the New Year began in Ireland. Irish missionaries brought the new Feast of All Saints to the continent in the 9th century. The date of All Saints' Day also fits into the dead month of November because the living Christian knows that he is connected to the dead through Jesus Christ. The visible transience in the surrounding nature sensitizes people to the transience of the earthly world. This opens up a view of the afterlife and the role models for it: All the saints.
