All Saints' Day (also called All Hallows or Hallowmas), is often shortened to All Saints, is a feast celebrated on November 1 in Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity in honour of all the saints, known and unknown.
In terms of Roman Catholic theology, the feast commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in heaven, while the next day, All Souls' Day, commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven.
On Sunday November 2nd we will be dressing up as our favourite Martyr Saint.
Here is a link to a list of martyrs that you can dress up as.
