Date: All Saints' Day is a Christian festival celebrated annually on November 1st.
History: The day honors all saints, known and unknown, and has roots in the early Christian tradition of commemorating martyrs. It was established to provide a collective day to venerate saints who did not have their own feast day. The festival was made universal by Pope Gregory IV in 837 AD.
Traditions: In Germany, All Saints' Day is particularly significant in predominantly Catholic regions, such as Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia. It's a public holiday in these areas, allowing people to attend church services without work constraints.
Activities: Due to its reflective nature, All Saints' Day is generally not marked by grand festivities but is a time for quiet prayer, reflection on the lives of saints, and remembrance of loved ones who have passed away. It's also an opportunity for families to come together in remembrance and solidarity.
