Our Selection of Flowers for All Saints' Day
The Catholic holiday of All Saints' Day falls on November 1
And on November 2 we commemorate the dead. The origins of the Feast of All Saints date back to the VIII–IX centuries, when it spread in Latin Europe and then established itself in Rome at the end of the ninth century. This kind of commemoration is witnessed in various denominations as early as the fourth century.
According to historical sources, the commemoration originated around 609 AD, with the conversion of the Pantheon into a church dedicated to the Virgin and to the martyrs. In the following century, November 1st became the date of consecration to all the saints of a chapel in St. Peter; in 835, All Saints' Day became a feast of obligation.
Known as the Festival of Samhain, All Saints Day was also celebrated in England: the Celts believed that the dead would return to the places where they had lived, and that is perhaps why cheerful and joyous celebrations were held. Halloween — celebrated mainly in the U.S. on October 31st and increasingly popular in Europe — refers precisely to ancient traditions of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon culture.
To celebrate All Saints Day and the name day of friends and loved ones, our advice is to choose a colourful and fragrant bunch of flowers, to brighten and beautify the day of those who receive the floral tribute. Flowers can be sent or delivered by hand, and the result is an exchange of affection and gratitude that unites and strengthens feelings and mutual esteem.
Flowers for All Saints' Day should be colourful and cheerful. Among the most suitable are sunflowers, lilies, roses and coloured chrysanthemums. If you prefer a more substantial floral tribute, a composition of mixed flowers with strelitzia makes a perfect gift. Flowers are usually sent on the day of the celebration itself, to brighten the home of the recipient.
Returning to chrysanthemums, these are the most suitable flowers for the commemoration of All Saints and the Dead on November 2. Chrysanthemums bloom in autumn, which is why they are always fresh and lush. Particularly beautiful are those in shades of yellow and pink.
In the rest of the world, chrysanthemums are a symbol of good fortune and prosperity, used for weddings, communions and birthdays. The chrysanthemum is also the official flower of Japan. For November 2nd, the Day of the Commemoration of the Deceased, cyclamen and pansy are also ideal — perfect for renewing remembrance and affection for our loved ones.
