Me write this in your own words it's about all saints day on may 13, 609 a.d., pope boniface iv dedicated the pantheon in rome in honor of all christian martyrs, and the catholic feast of all martyrs day was established in the western church. pope gregory iii later expanded the festival to include all saints as well as all martyrs, and moved the observance from may 13 to november 1. by the 9th century the influence of christianity had spread into celtic lands, where it gradually blended with and supplanted the older celtic rites. in 1000 a.d., the church would make november 2 all souls’ day, a day to honor the dead. it’s widely believed today that the church was attempting to replace the celtic festival of the dead with a related church-sanctioned holiday.
