FEAST OF THE ALL SAINTS COMMEMORATION • PRAY FOR DEPARTED • REMEMBRANCE OF THE DEAD
Intercession to All Saints
Here's why: If we were to trace the origins of Halloween to one specific event in history, it would be when Pope Gregory III (731-741) dedicated an oratory in the original Saint Peter's Basilica of Rome in honor of all the Saints on November 1st, which initiated a local Roman custom to celebrate the feast of All Saints on November 1st. Before this time the feast of All Saints, also known as All Hallows, was celebrated throughout the Christian world since the 4th century to mainly commemorate all the Martyrs either in April or May, including Ireland. St Bede (d. 735) recorded the celebration of All Saints Day on November 1 in England, and such a celebration also existed in Salzburg, Austria. Ado of Vienne (d. 875) recounted how Pope Gregory IV asked King Louis the Pious (778-840) to proclaim November 1 as All Saints Day throughout the Frankish Empire. Sacramentaries of the ninth and tenth centuries also placed the Feast of All Saints on the liturgical calendar on November 1.
荣耀的众使徒，先知，殉道者及诸圣，请为我罪人祈祷。
O glorious Apostles, Prophets and Martyrs, and all Saints, pray for us sinners.
THE HOLY WEEK SERVICES OF ST DEMETRIOS THE MYRRH-STREAMER
Thus, they begin on October 19th ("Palm Sunday") and proceed to the feast of St Demetrios on October 26th ("Pascha")
The love and devotion towards St. Demetrios the Great Martyr and Myrrhgusher from the Orthodox faithful of Thessaloniki is truly immense. Though to some it may seem hyperbolic, St. Demetrios has worked countless wonders both for the city of Thessaloniki, and for all the Orthodox faithful throughout the world. In praise of Christ Who strengthened him in his martyrdom, and in honor and thanksgiving to this great Wonderworker, various hymnographers have composed hymns beyond those of the standard Menaia in praise of St. Demetrios. Many of these hymns comprise the so-called "Holy Week of St. Demetrios". This is a collection of pre-festal hymns from various sources in honor of the Saint, and are generally modeled after and grouped correspondingly to the days of Holy Week (i.e. the Passion and Resurrection of Christ). Thus, they begin on October 19th ("Palm Sunday") and proceed to the feast of St. Demetrios on October 26th ("Pascha"). Many of the hymns have been written by St. Symeon of Thessaloniki (+ 1429), so we can see how this is an old and established tradition of this local Orthodox Church.

Ὁ Ἅγιος Οὔαρος ὁ Μάρτυρας
Οἱ Ἅγιοι Ἕξι Ὁσιομάρτυρες οἱ ἐρημίτες
Ἡ Ὁσία Κλεοπάτρα
Saint Varus is especially honored by Russian Orthodox Christians as the patron of those who have died outside the Orthodox Christian Faith, and of young children who are ill or have died either by illness or during birth or even in the womb. Since it is not permissible to pray for the unbaptized who have departed this world during the Divine Liturgy or Funeral Services, many Orthodox have resorted to praying to Saint Varus on behalf of their loved ones who died without baptism (this does not apply to those Christians who have committed suicide, rather see the Prayer of Elder Leonid of Optina).
