The '''All Saints''' [[solemnity]], also known as the Solemnity of All Saints or All Hallows, is the principal [[feast]] in the [[Roman Rite]] that honors all the saints in heaven, both known and unknown. Celebrated annually on November 1 according to the [[General Roman Calendar]], it follows [[All Souls' Day]] on November 2 and forms part of the concluding phase of the [[liturgical year]] in [[Ordinary Time]]. As a [[Holy Day of Obligation]] in many [[dioceses]], the faithful are required to attend [[Mass]]. | |||
According to the *General Roman Calendar* (2002 edition), All Saints ranks as a solemnity, taking precedence over Sundays in Ordinary Time when November 1 falls on a Sunday. The celebration includes proper liturgical texts in the [[Missale Romanum]], with the [[Gloria]] and [[Creed]] recited at Mass. The feast underscores the communion of saints and invites the Church on earth to venerate the entire heavenly court. | |||
The origins of All Saints trace to early Christian commemorations of martyrs, evolving into a universal feast by the 9th century. It reflects the Church's belief in the sanctity achieved by countless faithful, as articulated in the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]. | |||
