All Saints Day

November 1 is All Saint's Day.  November 3 is All Saint's Sunday.  Many christians in the United States think about good, christian people.  In the Catholic Church, Saints must perform miracles and be confirmed by the leadership of the church.  Many catholic children choose a special saint's name when they get confirmed.  In the (protestant) methodist church, any real christian can be called 'saint.'

"When the Saints Go Marching In" is a very famous example of American Jazz music.  It's often played at funerals in New Orleans, LA.


Do you have a favorite saint?  Who do you think of when you want to think about good people?
