In the 600’s A.D., November 1 was specified by the Pope to be All Saints Day; a day to fete and honor Christian holy men and martyrs. It is thought that Pope Boniface IV picked out November 1 as All Saints Day to supersede the pagan Samhain fete with a church-approved holiday. All Saints Day became known as “All Hallows Day” credited to the Middle English word for it, which was ‘Alholowmesse.’ Therefore, the night before All Hallows Day became legendary as “All Hallow’s Eve”. The church subsequently appointed November 2 as “All Souls’ Day,” a day to honour family who have passed. During All Souls’ Day parades in England, “soul cakes” were distributed to poor souls in return for a promise that they would pray for dead relatives.
