Sundays at All Hallows (October 25, 2026)
Welcome to Sundays at All Hallows. This Sunday, October 25, 2026, is the Twenty-First Sunday after Trinity. Next Saturday is All Hallows Eve, commonly called Hallowe’en, a contraction of Hallow Even, the first eve of All Hallows Day, or Hallowmas, also known as All Saints’ Day, which falls this year on a Sunday. Feast days and Sundays begin at sunset on the previous day so Hallowe’en once the sun dips beneath the horizon is the beginning of a holy day. Hallowe’en, All Hallows Day, and All Souls Day (November 2) form together the season of Hallowtide in which we honor that great cloud of witnesses of past generations as well as those of the faithful who recently departed this life. All Hallows Day, or Hallowmas, is the namesake of All Hallows Murray and its patronal festival. This Sunday’s message takes a look at what The Book of Common Prayer with Additions and Deviation Proposed in 1928 calls “Our Lord’s Summary of the Law,” also known as the Greatest Commandments....
