| In the late spring, the Sunday following Pentecost Sunday (50 days after Easter) is set aside as a commemoration of all locally venerated saints, such as "", "All Saints of ]", etc. The third Sunday after Pentecost may be observed for even more localized saints, such as "All Saints of ]", or for saints of a particular type, such as "]." | |||

| ==In the West== | |||
| The Western Christian holiday of '''All Saints' Day''' falls on 1 November, followed by ] on 2 November, and is a ] in the ] of the Catholic Church. | |||
| The origin of the festival of All Saints celebrated in the West dates to 13 May 609 or 610, when ] consecrated the ] to the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs; the feast of the ''dedicatio Sanctae Mariae ad Martyres'' has been celebrated at Rome ever since. There is evidence that from the fifth through the seventh centuries there existed in certain places and at sporadic intervals a feast date on 13 May to celebrate the holy martyrs.<ref>C. Smith ''The New Catholic Encyclopedia'' 1967: ''s.v.'' "Feast of All Saints", p. 318.</ref> The origin of All Saints' Day cannot be traced with certainty, and it has been observed on various days in different places. However, there are some who maintain the belief that it has origins in the ] observation of 13 May, the ], in which the malevolent and restless spirits of the dead were propitiated. Liturgiologists base the idea that this ''Lemuria'' festival was the origin of that of All Saints on their identical dates and on the similar theme of "all the dead".<ref>For example, Violet Alford ("The Cat Saint", ''Folklore'' '''52'''.3 p. 181 note 56) observes that "Saints were often confounded with the ] or Dead. Repasts for both were prepared in early Christian times, and All Saints' Day was transferred in 835 to November 1st from one of the days in May which were the old Lemuralia"; Alford notes ], ''Les saints successeurs des dieux'', Paris 1906 (''sic'', i.e. 1907).</ref> | |||
| The feast of All Saints, on its current date, is traced to the foundation by ] (741–731) of an ] in ] for the relics "of the holy apostles and of all saints, martyrs and confessors, of all the just made perfect who are at rest throughout the world",{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} with the day moved to 1 November and the 13 May feast suppressed.<ref>"All Saints Day," ''The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church'', 3rd edition, ed.

| The festival was retained after the ] in the calendar of the ] and in many ] churches.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} In the Lutheran churches, such as the ], it assumes a role of general commemoration of the dead. In the ], the observance takes place on the Saturday between 31 October and 6 November. In many Lutheran Churches, it is moved to the first Sunday of November. In the ] it may be celebrated either on 1 November or on the Sunday between 30 October and 5 November. It is also celebrated by other ] of the English tradition, such as the ], the ] churches, and the ]. | |||
| Protestants generally regard all true Christian believers as saints and if they observe All Saints Day at all they use it to remember all Christians both past and present. In the ], All Saints' Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in November. It is held, not only to remember Saints, but also to remember all those who have died who were members of the local church congregation.<ref>{{dead link|date=November 2010}}</ref> In some congregations, a candle is lit by the ] as each person's name is called out by the ]. Prayers and responsive readings may accompany the event. Often, the names of those who have died in the past year are affixed to a memorial plaque. | |||
| In many Lutheran churches, All Saints' Day and ] are observed concurrently on the Sunday before or after those dates, given Reformation Day is observed in Protestant Churches on 31 October. Typically, ]'s "]" is sung during the service. Besides discussing Luther's role in the ], some recognition of the prominent early leaders of the Reformed tradition, such as ] and ], occurs. The observance of Reformation Day may be immediately followed by a reading of those members of the local congregation who have died in the past year in observance of All Saints' Day.
