What is the symbolism of All Saint's Day?

. In the Roman Catholic Church, “All Saints Day” is a “Major Feast”, more usually called a “Holyday of Obligation”.
. It is a day upon which “the faithful members of the Church” are under a strict obligation to do all that is reasonably possible to attend Mass - with perhaps even a greater degree of importance than attending Mass on the “Ordinary Sundays” of the year - all of which are themselves obligatory.
. There is a specific laid down order of Mass for All Saints Day, with certain obligatory prayers and readings which are used in all Roman Catholic Churches on 1 Nov. every year (excepting that it is common practice for this to be celebrated on the nearest Sunday if 1 Nov is a Monday or Saturday). . In England and Wales, the Holydays of Obligation are: Christmas Day; the Epiphany ( 6 Jan ); the Ascension (Thursday after the sixth Sunday of Easter - often described as 40 days after Easter); Corpus Christi (Thursday after Trinity Sunday); The Feast Day of Saints Peter and Paul ( 29 Jun ); the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary ( 15 Aug ); and All Saints Day. . Other countries have some degree of freedom to vary the Holydays of Obligation to suit local custom and practice. I am not 100% certain that All Saints Day is observed as a Roman Catholic Holyday of Obligation in every country of the world, but it probably is. .
