All Saints Day

All Souls Day – also known as the ‘Commemoration of the Faithful Departed’, has been observed, in some form and on different dates, since the seventh century in the Western Church and the ninth century in the Eastern Church. On All Souls Day, the Church invites us to remember our departed loved ones in prayer to express our love and continued concern for their spiritual growth in Christ. As the biblical scholar and Anglican bishop, N.T. Wright puts it, ‘I see no reason why we should not pray for and with the dead… Love passes into prayer; we still love them; why not hold them, in that love, before God?’
