Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), often known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is usually 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 devoted to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and the faithful departed.It is widely thought that many Halloween traditions descends from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, especially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could have had pagan roots; and this Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween with the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely to be 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, and also watching horror films. In many parts on the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles for 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 for this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
