33 Best Scary Halloween Decorations Ideas \u0026 Pictures

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also called Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is usually a celebration seen in 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] some time in the liturgical year committed to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and the faithful departed.It is widely thought many Halloween traditions came from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, specially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could have had pagan roots; knowning that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween from the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely like 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, along with watching horror films. In many parts with 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 is usually 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 within this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
