Ascension from earthly things; and
they worshipped Him and learnt
from Him the Power given to Him in
every place. And they were sent to

His Resurrection from the dead, and

Al l Sai nt s Sun day
Our Holy Church Fathers decreed the Commemoration of the Feast of All Saints
after the Descent of the Life-giving All-Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, showing
in a certain way that the Descent of the All-Holy Spirit acted through the Holy
Apostles by Sanctifying them and making them wise human beings who are
taken from our mortal clay.
Also, for the completion of the fallen angelic order, Restoring them - and through
Christ, sending them to God - some by the Witness of their Holy Martyrdom and
blood, others by their Virtuous Life in Christ.
Furthermore, by the Power and Energy of the Holy Spirit, through Christ and
according to the Will of God the Father, all things beyond nature are achieved
by extraordinary Faithful Disciples of Christ.
For the Holy Spirit descends in the form of Heavenly, Uncreated Fire, Whose natural
momentum is upwards - while our mortal clay has the natural inclination
downwards, but is enabled to ascend on High as we are added to and Deified
by God the Word, Who has taken His Rightful Position, being seated at the right
Hand of God the Fathers Glory.
Christ has revealed His Works of Reconciliation and the True Purpose of His
Incarnation and His Loving, Compassionate Dispensation (Economia) to us.
Therefore He draws all those who were rejected before, to Union and Friendship
with God according to the Divine Promise.
He brings those who were outstandingly well pleasing to God as an Offering to His
Heavenly Father from all the Nations - like First Fruits - which is one reason for the
Commemoration of All Saints.
A second reason is because many people, although achieving extraordinary
Virtues, are often unidentified - yet due to their Holy Struggles and Lifestyle they
have achieved great honour in Gods Sight.
There have been many millions of Righteous souls who were good, Faithful
Disciples of Christ who lived throughout the world - throughout the ages - who
have not been recognised or honoured as Saints.
Consequently, our Holy Church Fathers have ordained the Feast of All Saints,
thereby honouring all those Saints who are unknown to us as well as those
known by name and in whom the Holy Spirit has dwelt, through whom He has
operated and whom He has Sanctified and Deified.
A third reason is because it is necessary for all the Saints and Holy Martyrs who are
usually Commemorated individually, day by day, to be gathered together on
one great Feast Day a Synaxis - having all Struggled so long, so
courageously and so Faithfully for their Love and Devotion to Almighty God.
They have all run the Great Race of Divine Truth and Faith in the same Holy
Stadium of Virtue, and they were thus all fittingly Crowned as Victorious Servants
of the One, True and Living God, having nurtured and sustained His Holy
Church and becoming worthy Holy Citizens of His Eternal, Heavenly Kingdom.
All these innumerable millions of Holy Saints and Martyrs, by their Good Example,
encourage us and guide us so that we too may accomplish the same Spiritual
Struggles in their diverse and various forms, to a greater or lesser degree each
according to our own personal efforts, dedication and devotion to God.

For all these Saints from every age, the revered and wise Emperor Leo erected a
vast, very beautiful church, which is situated very near to the Holy Church of the
Holy Apostles of Christ, in the great city of Constantinople. Having built it with
the idea of consecrating it in honour of his first wife, Empress Theophano, who
had been exceptionally Obedient and Faithful to God, Emperor Leo could not
get the approval of the Holy Church until he dedicated it in honour of All Saints
throughout time and throughout the world: Since Theophano is a Saint, let
her be numbered with the rest!
We are thus Commemorating every soul whom the Holy Spirit has Sanctified: the
Nine Orders of Heavenly Hosts; the Ancient Ancestors and Patriarchs; the
Prophets and Holy Apostles; the Martyrs and Hierarchs; the Hieromartyrs and
Ascetic Martyrs; the Ascetics and the Just and all the Choirs and Clouds of Holy
Witnesses - of all Holy Men, Women and Children and all anonymous Saints
throughout all time.
And before all, in all and with all, the Holiest Saint of Saints - the Most Holy and quite
Incomparably Mightier than the Angelic Orders - our Lady and Sovereign,
Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary, who, together with All Saints, Intercedes on our
behalf with Christ our Saviour, for His Great Mercy on our immortal soul.

After having in Truth arisen from the
Tomb, Thou commanded the
Venerable Women to proclaim Thy
Resurrection to the Apostles, as it is
written. And Peter ran quickly to
the Sepulchre. And beholding the
Light in the Tomb, he was quite
amazed. Wherefore he observed
that the grave clothes were lying
alone in the Sepulchre without the
Divine Body. And believing, he cried
aloud: Glory be to Thee, O Christ
God our Saviour, for Thou Save all
people, inasmuch as Thou art the
Fathers radiance.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages.

And Jesus went and spoke to them,

earth. Go, therefore, and make
