Today is All Saints Day

Tomorrow, All Saints Sunday, in church at the 8:15 service on Lytham Road (Upper Arlington Lutheran Church) the names of our loved ones in heaven will be read during the service.



Video of “For All the Saints” comes from a worship service at Mt. Olivet United Methodist Church in Arlington, Virginia. One of my favorite hymns.

All Saints is Allhallows. So Halloween (which is not a Christian festival) is the Eve of Allhallows. The first general observance of All Saints' Day was ordered by Pope Gregory IV in 837.
