'''All Saints Day''' is the religious feast celebrated by many [[Christian]] [[church]]es celebrating all the [[saint]]s. It occurs on November 1st in the west. It's present form dates from the time of [[Pope Gregory III]] back in the mid 700s. A derivative of an earlier naming of the celebration is how the holiday of [[Halloween]] got its name.
