If you are a Christian, then you should be familiar with All Saints Day. This is the day that falls on the day after Halloween where we honor and celebrate all the saints known and unknown canonized by the Church over the centuries. My patron saint St. James the Apostle was a man of great wisdom and intellect who helped spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in the first few years of Christianity. So what are we going to do to commemorate this day this year? I have found a perfect way to show my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ my love for his saints and that is by watching some of their biopic films available for free viewing on Youtube.com. I have listed them out here for you in case you may take my suggestion. All but two of these films are fully streamed on Youtube. Also, all but one of these movies are based on the lives of actual canonized saints (meaning those who are officially recognized by the Church as “saints”). The last movie on this list is based on a saint-in-progress. So go ahead fellow Christian or you the interested reader, be blessed, watch the movies (I have labeled “full movie”) while munching on leftover Halloween candies from last night. Have a sacred and happy All Saints Day peeps! Remember, be a saint for a day, do something good for humanity and for your own salvation. God bless.
