Glory to Jesus Christ!

The Sunday of All Saints is one of the most beautiful aspects of the Byzantine faith and celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. This day is dedicated to remembering all the saints who have lived before us and who have attained the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a day of great joy and thanksgiving, as we remember the countless men and women who have lived holy lives and have been glorified by God.

On this day, we commemorate not only the well-known saints but also those who may have lived quiet and humble lives, yet whose faith and devotion were no less significant. We look to them as examples, we pray to them for their intercessions, and we gather with them during Divine Services to worship God. The Sunday of All Saints reminds us that we are all called to be saints and that the path to holiness is open to everyone.

In addition to honoring the saints, the Sunday of All Saints also serves as a reminder of the ultimate goal of the Christian life: to attain eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a day of hope and encouragement, as we are reminded that, with God's help, we can also overcome the challenges of this life and attain the glory of the saints.
