public announcement of the sentences imposed on individuals tried by the Inquisition and the public execution of those sentences by the secular authorities; the burning of a heretic at the stake. public ceremony of execution of individuals condemned to death by the Inquisition for heresy and other sins. It was the most cruel and torturous of the judicial ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church and was celebrated with great pomp and solemnity, as they loved to find reasons to murder others, as they do in today's age. The ceremony consisted of the procession of the condemned to a public place and the delivery of a sermon, followed by execution of the sentence, which frequently meant a burning at the stake. Most of these executions took place in Spain and Portugal and their colonies. The first recorded one was held by the Spanish inquisitor general Tomás de Torquemada in Sevilla (Seville) in 1481; the last took place in the early 19th century. Under Torquemada alone, about 2000 people were executed in autos-da-fé. The Americas also had autos-da-fé, with Mexico conducting one as late as 1815. The ceremony generally was held on a Sunday between Whitsunday and Advent or on All Saints' Day.

All Saints' Day, also Allhallows or Hallowmas, festival celebrated on November 1 in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches and by the Orthodox churches on the first Sunday after Pentecost, in honor of God and all his saints, known and unknown. It became established as a church festival early in the 7th century when the Pantheon in Rome was consecrated as the Church of the Blessed Virgin and All Martyrs.

Pope Gregory IV gave the custom official authorization in 835. November 1 may have been chosen because it was the day of one of the four great festivals of the pagan nations of the north and it was church policy to supplant pagan with Christian observances..comprised from Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.
