FEAST OF ALL SAINTS

On Saturday, November 2, the Armenian Church commemorates the Feast of All Saints, Old and New, Known and Unknown. This is the holiday that compensates for any sins of omission in the list of saints remembered by the Church. The western churches celebrate All Saints Day on November 1. In the Armenian Church tradition, the date is variable depending on the season of the Cross. The date falls on the first week of November. This commemoration is rooted in the belief that there are many saints who are not known to us. Therefore, on this day, all saints are honored.
