The story

All Saints at the Vatican in Vatican City

All Saints, observed November 1, is a Catholic solemnity honoring all recognized and unrecognized saints, marked at the Vatican chiefly by the pope's brief address and blessing during the traditional noon Angelus in St Peter's Square. Unlike Easter or Christmas, it involves no major Vatican-specific procession of its own.

All Saints is a major Catholic solemnity with Vatican liturgical observance and pilgrimage meaning across the universal Church.

At the Vatican, the day's public expression is comparatively modest compared to Christmas or Easter liturgies
