This feast was inaugurated when the Pantheon in Rome, which had originally been dedicated to all the pagan gods by the emperor Agrippa in 273 B.C., was consecrated to the worship of God in honor of our Lady and all the Christian martyrs by Pope Boniface IV (608–615). Pope Gregory IV (827–844) assigned the feast to November 1. (MTR) Music from SoundCloud. Photo by K. Mitch Hodge on Unsplash
