12. All Saints Day : A time to remember those heroes of the faith who have come before us (especially those who died for the Gospel). The living Christ is now seen in the world through the words and deeds of his people (John 14.12; Heb. 11; Rev. 17.6).

13. Thanksgiving Day : Bears similarity to the feasts of the harvest in the Old Testament.

14. Feast of Christ the King : Last Sunday before Advent ( also called the Feast of the Reign of Christ ), important segue into advent, instituted in 1925 to function in counter cultural way against the secularization of the modern world.
