Why Do We Celebrate All Saints Day?

"Saints are not saints because they are inherently particularly holy—saints are saints because God has made them holy... It is actually the action of the sanctifying power of God within us that makes us holy, so to acknowledge the saints at all is to acknowledge the saving power of Jesus Christ in the life of an individual."

What is All Saints Day and why do we commemorate saints? Bishop Alex explains the two-fold importance of this day in our church calendar.
