Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), often known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, can be a celebration noticed 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] time in the liturgical year committed to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all sorts of the faithful departed.It is widely considered that many Halloween traditions originated in ancient Celtic harvest festivals, especially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals might have had pagan roots; and this Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween through the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely 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, and also watching horror films. In many parts from the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles around the graves on the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is often a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected within the eating of certain vegetarian foods for this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
