Talking Today is My Day!
All SAINTS DAY!

I'm the only qualified one on this site, and to be honest I'm not qualified, but I'm not telling anyone.

Talking Steve;
I'm just trying to earn Bob K's respect. He's Polish and they can be convinced of just about anything.

I tell everyone I'm the self-appoint Pope of Ellensburg.

Now that should impress Bob!

Default Pope of E
Non-Polish Popes are a dime a dozen. Now if you were St. Stanislaw, I?d be impressed. All Saints Day, didn?t that start with Pope Innocent 111 at the 4th Lateran Council?

Stay healthy,
Andy

Celtic peoples adopted Christianity quickly, easily, and strongly. The conversion of Celtic peoples did not, however, keep them from celebrating some of their old customs. Attempts to replace the year-end custom in the old Celtic calendar of honoring the dead were only partially successful. So Pope Gregory IV put out a Christian alternative to "Halloween" and established "All Saints Day" as the day after Halloween, this was suppose to replace Halloween eventually, but . . . . . . . it didn't.
It is celebrated on Nov. 1 in the West, since Pope Gregory IV ordered its church-wide observance in 837.

I think the reason it didn't catch on was there wasn't any candy given away in honor of the Saints.

Christmas was put in place to replace the Winter Solace celebration of the Pagans. It caught on very well but All Saints day, well it just didn't catch on with the masses to well. If only they had started giving away candy, I'm sure it would have caught on, but those durids started giving away candy and beat the church to the punch.

That's the story of the Catholic Church; if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
