Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), often known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is really a celebration affecting several countries on 31 October, the eve on the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] enough time in the liturgical year specialized in remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all of the faithful departed.It is widely thought that many Halloween traditions came from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, in particular the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could possibly have had pagan roots; knowning that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween from the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely being a Christian holiday.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or even 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, and also watching horror films. In many parts in the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles for the graves with the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it can be 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.
