Halloween Door \u0026 Window Decorations events to CELEBRATE!

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 often a celebration witnessed 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] some time in the liturgical year focused on remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and many types of the faithful departed.It is widely belief that many Halloween traditions descends from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, in particular 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 to be a Christian holiday.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (and 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, in addition to watching horror films. In many parts in the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles around 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 eating of certain vegetarian foods about this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
