Feast of All Saints

[alixtii]

All Saints' Day is the first major Feast Day of the school year. For me, then, it functions metonymically for the liturgical calendar, for feast days and the having of feast days, for high-church Christianity, for Catholicism and Anglicanism, for a rich symbology which includes heaven and hell and purgatory and, yes, saints. (Look at all the pretty metaphors!) This is what All Saints' Day means to me.

I sort of actually forget that it also deals with commemoration of the dead, sometimes.

Anyway, here is last year's Feast of All Saints ficlet.

[Yeah, I was going to write more but I am still exhausted. I take the GRE Lit on Saturday and I have a feeling I'm not going to accomplish a thing in the meantime.]
