The custom of celebrating during eight days, the Feast of All Saints, was established by Pope Sixtus IV, in 1430, for The Universal Church.

Let us realise the part played by the Liturgy of The Church initiating us into the Liturgy of Heaven.

"As daughter of those very Choirs that are continually  singing before The Throne of God and The Lamb," said Pope Saint Pius X, as well as Pope Urban VIII, "it is proper that Divine Psalmody, by which the Spouse consoles herself during her exile for the absence of her Divine Lord, should be without fault or stain." [Editor: Some modern Liturgical practices please take note.]

Mass: As on the Feast of All Saints.

Commemoration of the Holy Four Crowned Martyrs as in the following Mass.
