All Saints’ Day, is celebrated on 1 November every year. It is the day we remember the saints and allow the memory of their faith to spur us on to deeper worship and greater service to the Lord.
Knowing the background of this under-celebrated day, here are a few ways to observe the holy day:
All Saints’ Day is a feast day to celebrate being connected with your Catholic friends. Invite them for a meal or go out and share your testimony as part of the festivities. Our stories of faith are powerful. They pull us out of isolation as we learn we are not alone, and they give us hope when we see how God is working in other people’s lives.
It is an apt day to learn more about a historical saint. All the saints can inspire us. There are many stories of their lives and miracles. Learn more about someone in the Bible, or perhaps a missionary, reformer, or influential Christian from a more recent era. It is good to know and learn the patronage and their life stories and you can choose a saint and read about him/her on a particular day.
Watching a movie night is good and it is better to watch a movie regarding the saints are more influential. Movies speak a lot and at the same time, you can enjoy All Saints Day too.
Thanking God for the saints and their lives as a model for us. Our connection with the faithful alive today and those throughout history is an incredible gift. Jesus Christ is not only for us; His gospel has been alive and active for centuries, causing miracles, changing cultures, and pushing forward His great plans and purposes for the world. Before the day ends, thank Him for the family of God and the honor of being a part of it.
