Up to the end of the 16th-Century, there was no General Feast of this name for the whole Benedictine Order, since “The Order Of Saint Benedict”, in the modern sense, was unknown.

In individual Monasteries, as Monte Cassino, Cluny, Fontenelle, etc, a Feast of all the Saints proper to the Monastery was observed, on different dates; only by the Revision of The Monastic Breviary, by Pope Saint Paul V, in 1612, a General Feast of All Holy Monks of The Benedictine Order was instituted,

on 13 November.
