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 really 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 devoted to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all sorts of the faithful departed.It is widely thought many Halloween traditions originated in 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 being 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 on 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 from the eating of certain vegetarian foods with this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
