ABOUT ALL SAINTS' DAY . . . Many scholars believe that the Feast of All Saints on November 1st originated in Ireland, spread from there to England, and then to Europe; documentary evidence attests to its celebration as early as the ninth century.  However, the desire of Christian people to express the inter-communion of the living and the dead in the Body of Christ, and to commemorate especially the heroic martyrs of the faith, stretches back to the earliest days of the Church.
 
All Saints’ Day is classed, in the Prayer Book of 1979, as a Principal Feast, taking precedence of any other day or observance. It is one of the four days recommended in the Prayer Book for the administration of Holy Baptism. All Saints' Day may always be observed on the Sunday following November 1, in addition to its observance on the fixed date.
