All Saints Day was first recorded in the fourth Century ,around the Feast of Lemurs on 13 of May in celebrating the anniversary of the Martyrs execution but there eventually were too many Catholics Martyrs for each one to have their own separate day, All Saints ‘day celebrating on November first became official in the Seventh Century, when Pope Gregory III founded as repository for the relics of all the Apostles, Confessors, Martyrs and Saints.
in the Ninth Century, the church measured the day as starting sunset ,in accordance with the Florentine Calendar. Although All Saints Day is now considered to occur one day after the Halloween, the two holidays were at that time celebrated on the same day.
