Halloween
didn’t just somehow start with costumes and trick-or-treat. It goes back to All Hallows Eve which is the evening before All Saint’s Day in the Christian calendar. Hallows is the term for Saints, so it is the eve of the saints. The Utah Epodcopalians traces the origins and the religious significance of All Hallows Eve and All Saints Day.
Our special guest is The Rev.

All Saints Episcopal Church, Salt Lake City

All Saints Day - November 1
It is believed by many scholars that the commemoration of all the saints on November first originated in Ireland, spread from there to England, and then to the continent of Europe. That it had reached Rome and had been adopted there early in the ninth century is attested by a letter of Pope Gregory IV, who reigned from 828 to 844, to Emperor Louis “the Pious,” urging that such a festival be observed throughout the Holy Roman Empire.
However, the desire of Christian people to express the intercommunion of the living and the dead in the Body of Christ by a commemoration of those who, having professed faith in the living Christ in days past, had entered into the nearer presence of their Lord, and especially of those who had crowned their profession with heroic deaths, was far older than the early Middle Ages. Gregory Thaumaturgus (the “Wonder Worker”), writing before the year 270, refers to the observance of a festival of all martyrs, though he does not date it. A hundred years later, Ephrem the Deacon mentions such an observance in Edessa on May 13; and the patriarch John Chrysostom, who died in 407, says that a festival of All Saints was observed on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Constantinople at the time of his episcopate. The contemporary lectionary of the East Syrians set a commemoration of all the saints on Friday in Easter week. On May 13, in the year 610, the Pantheon in Rome—originally a pagan temple dedicated to “all the gods”—was dedicated as the Church of St. Mary and All Martyrs.
All Saints’ Day is classed, in the Prayer Book of 1979, as a Principal Feast, taking precedence of any other day or observance. Among the seven so classified, All Saints’ Day alone may be observed on the following Sunday, in addition to its observance on its fixed date. It is one of the four days recommended in the Prayer Book (page 312) for the administration of Holy Baptism.

All Saints Church on All Saints Day
All Saints Day has played an important part in All Saints Church. In 1948, a Sunday School was organized on the East side of Salt Lake City. Shortly after they held Sunday services on the first Sunday of November, All Saints Day. Bishop Stephen C. Clark (Utah's Bishop at the time) suggested that the new community become All Saints Mission in honor of the day, and All Saints Church was begun. That was 70 years ago.
For the next few years, the mission worshiped in several locations including Westminster College and Fort Douglas (Sunday School held in the jail cells). We were able to build a church in 1955 and in 1958 All Saints became a Parish, the first in Utah in the 20th century.
On Nov. 1, 1997 the church we currently have was dedicated.
What a wonderful heritage our parish has! We have always been a welcoming parish, seeing value in all people, and working not only within our church, but also in the community around us. We do this work because we love God, and we want to share that love with the people around us.
We put faith into practice! We are All Saints!
