All Saints Day, celebrated on November 1, is a feast that pays homage to all recognized and unrecognized saints, that is, those who have attained holiness and eternal life with God.
The date seeks to honor those who have lived a pious life and are now in the divine presence. It is a day to remember and venerate the saints canonized by the Church, as well as those faithful departed who, according to the Catholic faith, may be in heaven, but have not been officially recognized as saints.
It begins at 12:00 local Rome time in St. Peter's Square.
