“After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.... [One of the elders] said to me, ‘These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb’” (Revelation 7:9,14).



The Feast of All Saints on November 1st points to a "huge crowd which no one could count from every nation, race, people, and tongue." (Revelations 7) The church's list of canonized saints is only meant to witness and give a small preview to God's grace at work through every time and place, from the first centuries until now.




The said public exposition, veneration and exhibit in honor of this great Solemnity is featuring relics of more than 500 saints including a complete reliquary calendar of 365 Saints (from January 1 up to December 31 - filled with relics of everyday saints to know about!) together with the relic of the TRUE CROSS of OUR LORD, Belt of OUR LADY (ex cingulo) and Cloak of ST. JOSEPH (ex bacullo) ...


plus relics of PADRE PIO (a piece of bandage soaked with blood from his stigmata), JOHN BOSCO, IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA, ALPHONSUS LIGUORI, JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE, THERESE OF LISIEUX, RITA OF CASCIA, KATERI, DISMAS THE GOOD THIEF, ISIDORE THE FARMER, BENEDICT OF NURSIA, and many more!
