The Calendar of Saints is the official Church list of the names of all saints that are memorialized on each day throughout the year.
Nearly all the recognized saints have a designated feast day each year. However, there are thousands and thousands of saints in Heaven whose names are known only to God who do not have a feast day. All Saints Day recognizes all the unnamed saints.
All Saints Day is a celebration of Christian Saints and loved ones who have passed away. It is celebrated as a holiday in all Catholic countries, including France. Called La Toussaint, flowers are placed on the graves of loved ones and special church services are held. Itâ??s a short, pleasant autumn vacation period.
There are thousands and thousands of saints whose names are known only to God. Unlike known saints that have a feast day assigned to them each year, the vast majority of saints do not have such a day. All Saints Day gives these unknown saints a day of recognition.
Saints days, or feast days, are the specific days set aside by the Church to honor a certain saint. Each saint is assigned a day during the year when they are honored at Mass. Since there are so many thousands of saints, each saint must share his or her special day with several other saints.
