I would prefer to see Atomic Kitten Day. All Saints are really not doing anything anymore. Can't remember the last time they had a song in the charts, so why on earth should we give them a day?

Well, the Protestants seem to think all saved Protestants become saints but in the Roman Church the only saints are all unmarried nuns and monks who view human marriage/children as evil. The Roman Church discriminates against married couples entering the kingdom of Catholic heaven. If you go to a Roman Church you never see married saints (husbands and wives with their children) in the stained glass windows. They are banned from the windows.
The reason again is that the Roman Church views married saints as evil. Even today, 2007, the Pope of Italy will excommunicate any normal Roman minister (priest) when he marries a healthy, normal female.
That's the Pope's clear message of him saying that marriage is evil.
The Pope of Rome views married ministers like Dr. Billy Graham and Dr. Robert H. Schuller as evil since they are married to women and have children.

I find it beautiful, I would really love to get a peek at the jubilation going on in Heaven where right now all the Angels and Saints are rejoicing around the throne of the Holy Trinity.

All Saints Day is the day on which Catholics remember all the saints of the Church, whether officially canonized or not. It is celebrated on November 1.
Saints are people in heaven or on their way to heaven. All Christians dead and alive are saints.
The Catholic Church selects some of the most extraordinary examples, does in-depth research, and canonizes them.
"By canonizing some of the faithful, i.e., by solemnly proclaiming that they practiced heroic virtue and lived in fidelity to God's grace, the Church recognizes the power of the Spirit of holiness within her and sustains the hope of believers by proposing the saints to them as models and intercessors."

With love in Christ.

inspirational, because of all the God-fearing people who totally lived for Christ.
