All Saints Day
Revelation 21:1-6a

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the
first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.  And I saw the holy
city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband.  And I heard a loud voice from the throne
saying,
        "See, the home* of God is among mortals.
        He will dwell* with them;*
        they will be his peoples,*
        and God himself will be with them;*
        he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
        Death will be no more;
        mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
        for the first things have passed away."

And the one who was seated on the throne said, "See, I am making all
things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy
and true."  Then he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the beginning and the end.
