Do You Get a Black Moon?
What is a Black Moon, and why does it happen in December?
All Saints' Day is a celebration of all Christian saints, particularly those who have no special feast days of their own, in many Roman Catholic, Anglican and Protestant churches. In many western churches it is annually held November 1 and in many eastern churches it is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. It is also known as All Hallows Tide, All-Hallomas, or All Hallows' Day.
Is All Saints' Day a Public Holiday?
All Saints' Day is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.
In 2024, it falls on a Saturday, and some businesses may choose to follow Saturday opening hours.
