O Hallowmas is celebrated by Catholics around the world on the day November 1stthe eve of Dead.
According to Vatican News, the Holy See’s information portal, the date originated in the 4th century, with the commemoration of faithful martyrs.
“The first signs of the celebration we found in Antioch, on the Sunday after Pentecost. Between the 8th and 9th centuries, the festival began to spread across Europe and, in Rome, Pope Gregory III (731-741) chose November 1st as the date that coincided with the consecration of a chapel in the Basilica of Saint Peter, dedicated to the relics “of the holy Apostles and of all the holy martyrs and confessors, and to all the righteous, who rest in peace in the world”.
