All Saints' Day
1 November 2026 — One small flame for all the saints, known and unknown. Peace and light!
All Saints' Day (Ognissanti in Italian) is a Christian feast honouring all saints, known and unknown. In the Catholic tradition it is celebrated on 1 November. In 609 or 610, Pope Boniface IV turned the Pantheon in Rome into a Christian church dedicated to Mary and all the martyrs (consecrated on 13 May), and later, under Pope Gregory III (8th century), the feast was tied to 1 November, spreading across Western Europe in the ninth century. In Italy it is a public holiday. Families attend Mass, bring flowers, most often chrysanthemums, and light candles at the graves of their loved ones. The following day, 2 November, is dedicated to remembering the departed. The date is fixed and does not depend on the Moon. It falls in mid-autumn, when nights grow long and the stars appear early, and a small candle flame is a quiet symbol of hope and togetherness. Orthodox Christians keep All Saints on a different day, the first Sunday after Pentecost.
Flying across the sky: An ethereal, bluish-silver candle flame made of luminous dots and fine lines, like a small constellation drifting slowly across the night sky and leaving a soft glowing trail behind it
