Which calendar rule for All Saints’ Day is illustrated by the highlighted dates for 2025 and 2026?
Correct answer: The Saturday between 31 October and 6 November
Under the rule in force in 2026, All Saints’ Day is the Saturday between 31 October and 6 November. Its date therefore varies, unlike Halloween on 31 October.

Why this option does not fit
Den 1 november oavsett veckodag
1 November is called All Hallows’ Day, allhelgonadagen; it follows a different rule from the public holiday alla helgons dag.
Den 31 oktober oavsett veckodag
That is Halloween’s fixed date. All Saints’ Day can coincide with it but follows the Saturday rule.
Söndagen mellan 31 oktober och 6 november
The holiday falls on the Saturday, not the Sunday in the range.
