November 1 is often All Saints’ Day, which is the day when all Christian saints who have reached Heaven are recognized, even those who are fairly unknown in the church. The Roman Catholic Church sometimes calls All Saints’ Day the Solemnity of All Saints. Pope Gregory III declared November 1 a holiday to celebrate the saints during his time as pope which ran from AD 731–741.
