Amen.

A Brief History:
Origination: All Saints Day, also known as All Hallows Day, is known by several names. These include the Feast of All Saints, The Feast of All Hallows, The Solemnity of All Saints, and Hallowmas. All versions celebrate the honor of saints, also known as Christian martyrs, because most gave their lives up for the name of the church.

Evolution: Pope Boniface IV formally started All Saints Day without its name in its origin. He dedicated the Pantheon Church in Rome in honor of the Virgin Mary and all martyrs in general. Later, Pope Gregory IV continued further evolution of the celebration to more saints.
Holiday Origination: May 13, 609 A.D, and then later in the 7th century.
More Recently: A church service, prayer, and general honor of saints and martyrs. Not as common at all as the Halloween holiday in present times.
The Heart of Fall Activities: The holiday generally has not much to do with a setting of the fall season at all.

The future looks pretty bright, not bleak! All religious holidays are a great celebration: celebrating this earthly world with the coming permanent home in heaven!
