Ancient Rome (circa 753 BC - 455 AD)

During the Middle Ages in Europe, Autumn was associated with the Christian feast days of All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2). These days were originally called 'the Hallowmas' or 'Hallowed Evening Masses', and they were a time for remembering the deceased and seeking their intercession.
