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 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 the faithful departed.It is widely thought many Halloween traditions originated in 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 because of the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as being a Christian holiday.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or 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, in addition to watching horror films. In many parts from the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles about the graves from 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 about this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
