The Church from the earliest times has cultivated with great respect the memory of the dead and offered her suffrages for them. In the funeral rites the Church celebrates with faith the mystery of Easter, in the certainty that those who have become members with the Baptism of Christ crucified and risen, through death, go with him to life without end. The beginning of the celebration of the commemoration of all the faithful departed, also in Rome, was in sec. XIV.
