What is celebrated on All Saints' Day?
On the feast day of All Saints, all saints are commemorated in the Catholic Church, especially those who do not have their own day of remembrance. This also includes saints whose holiness was not recognised by people. These have therefore never been canonised by a pope; no one knows about their holiness except God.

All Saints' Day is a public holiday in Germany only in some federal states, namely in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. In these German states, 1 November is treated the same as Sundays and is therefore a day off (see also All Saints' Day in NRW). All Saints' Day is also a silent holiday on which the so-called "ban on dancing" applies.
In some other, predominantly Protestant federal states, Reformation Day, 31 October 2021, is a public holiday for this; this applies to Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt. Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia. In the other federal states, i.e. Berlin and Hesse, there is no public holiday during this period.
In Austria and Liechtenstein, All Saints' Day 2021 is also a public holiday equivalent to Sundays (see All Saints' Day in Austria).
