All Saints' Day, known as "Undas," "Todos los Santos," or "Araw ng mga Santo" in the Philippines, is a significant religious observance that takes place annually on November 1st. This day is a public holiday dedicated to honoring all saints, known and unknown, and is deeply rooted in the country's Catholic traditions.
The origins of All Saints' Day can be traced back to early Christianity, where it began as a commemoration of martyrs. Over time, it evolved to include all saints. The Philippines, being a predominantly Catholic country due to Spanish colonization from the 16th to the 19th century, adopted this tradition and has since infused it with local customs.
All Saints' Day is closely followed by All Souls' Day on November 2nd, when Filipinos pay homage specifically to the souls of their ancestors. Together these days form an important cultural observance that blends religious devotion with family bonding.
