    Tips

    The fact that a Christian house of worship - essentially encompassing the whole of heaven - is consecrated "ALL SAINTS" is not that common; it is usually one (or occasionally two) named saints who are the patron saint of a church - and therefore usually also over the municipality or town in which it is located.
    But in search of the origin you have to go far back into history, because the model for this practice of dedicating to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were generally dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). were consecrated. Probably the most famous Pantheon, a former pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

      All Saints is a distinctive church nestling among pleasant countryside. The church was built in 1140 and was, quite possibly, a fairly rudimentary structure originally. Many alterations have been made through the centuries and the church is now Grade II-listed. Inside, you can observe wonderful Victorian stained-glass and a 14th-century font. The church has a very peaceful atmosphere and is worth exploring if you are near.
