All Saints Solemnity
First source report
The Church celebrates the Solemnity of All Saints on November 1. This tradition is linked to the ancient consecration of the Pantheon in Rome, which was transitioned from a temple for pagan gods to a site dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the martyrs.
Pope Gregory III, who served from 731 to 741, selected November 1 to mark the consecration of a chapel in St. Peter's Basilica that held specific relics.
