The history
From Martyr to saint
Rome Italy ( Pantheon )
The celebration of All Saints
The story of the celebration of All Saints’ Day begins in the days of Christian Rome. During the 8th century, Pope Gregory III ordered that All Saints would be celebrated on each 1st day of November; however, it wasn’t until the 11th century when it was established in monasteries, that the deceased would be remembered every year one day after the festivities of All Saints’ Day, on November 2nd. The deceased are actually anyone that has died, not only Saints or Martyrs.
The origin of the Christian celebration is explored in this altar; it set the date for Day of the Dead as we know it today.
