All Souls’ Day in Roman Catholicism, a day for the commemoration of all the faithful departed, those baptized Christians who are believed to be in purgatory because they died with the guilt of lesser sins on their souls. Within the Christian tradition, All Soul’s Day was popularised by French monks who designated a specific day for remembering and praying for those in purgatory in 998 AD. This started as a local feast but gradually spread throughout the Catholic Church during the following century.
