Protestants, and many Catholics, have extended the definition of saints to include all deceased people who led good lives. Most denominations share similar lectionary scriptures for All Saints' Day. The Beatitudes in Matthew 5 bless as saints, without calling them such, the poor in spirit, they that mourn, the meek, they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake. Wendy Dakson, a licensed lay preacher in Delaware tells of a young boy awed by a long row of stained glass windows honoring martyrs, bishops, nuns, artists, poets, and even politicians. His mother explained to him that these were saints.
Saints are people that the sun shines through.
The day after All Saints' Day is All Souls' Day. It honors recently deceased people, especially family and friends. And some which have no memorial. There may be fogs without, but there should be sunshine within. Halloween falls on a Sunday this year.
