All Hallows Eve, October 31, ushers in the feast of All Hallows, also known as All Saints. All Hallows, celebrated
on November 1, has long been the feast day in the Western church for remembering and celebrating the communion of
the saints those of every generation who have gone before us, those saints in our midst today, and all of the
faithful who will come after us.
Each year, Duke Chapel celebrates All Hallows Eve with an evening worship service at 10:30 p.m. on October 31.
The service begins with the congregation processing into the Chapel, which is illuminated by candlelight. The
procession leads into the chancel area, where a Service of Word and Table takes place. At the end, the congregation
and participants process out of the Chapel.
All are invited, and Halloween costumes are welcome. Those who
are interested in participating in the service, including those
interested in performing the role of a martyr, may contact assistant dean
Craig Kocher at (919) 684-2909. Further information is also
available at (919) 684-2572.
