VATICAN CITY—Pope Benedict XVI evoked the American gospel classic "When the Saints Go Marching In" on Saturday as he marked All Saints Day at the Vatican.

All Saints Day "rekindles in our hearts the desire to be united forever with the family of saints," he said, adding: "As the famous spiritual says: 'Lord how I want to be in that number, when the saints go marching in'."

Speaking in Italian from his window overlooking St Peter's Square, the pontiff added: "May this lovely hope burn in all Christians, and help them to overcome all difficulties, all fears, all tribulations!"

In the Western Christian tradition, All Saints Day honors unknown as well as known saints.

Originally a slow New Orleans funeral dirge, "When the Saints Go Marching In" was popularized in the 1930s as a quick-paced jazz standard by Louis Armstrong, its apocalyptic lyrics remaining intact.
