Orthodox Church.

The Sunday of
All Saints
(First Sunday after
Pentecost)
About the Feast
This commemoration pious
honours all the Saints, the friends of God, for they are keepers of God's
commandments, shining examples of virtue, and benefactors of mankind. Of
course, we honour the known Saints especially on their own day of the year,
but, since many Saints are unknown, and their number has increased with time,
and will continue to increase until the end of time, the Church has appointed
that once a year a common commemoration be made of all the Saints. This is
the feast that the Church celebrate every first sunday after Pentecost.
In this celebration, then, we reverently honour and call blessed all the
Righteous, the Prophets, Apostles, Martyrs, Confessors, Shepherds, Teachers,
and Holy Monastics, both men and women alike, known and unknown, who have
been added to the choirs of the Saints and shall be added, from the time of
Adam until the end of the world, who have been perfected in piety and have
glorified God by their holy lives. All these, as well as the orders of the
Angels, and especially our most holy Lady and Queen, the Ever-virgin Mother
of God Mary, do we honour today, setting their life before us as an example
of virtue, and entreating them to intercede in our behalf with God, Whose
grace and boundless mercy be with us all. Amen.
