Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also referred to as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is usually a celebration seen in several countries on 31 October, the eve from the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] enough time in the liturgical year committed to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and the faithful departed.It is widely belief that many Halloween traditions originated in ancient Celtic harvest festivals, especially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could possibly have had pagan roots; knowning that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween through the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely like a Christian holiday.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or perhaps the related guising and souling), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, together with watching horror films. In many parts in the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles about the graves on the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is usually a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected inside the eating of certain vegetarian foods within this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
