Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also referred to as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, can be a celebration noticed in several countries on 31 October, the eve in the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] any 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 that many Halloween traditions originated in ancient Celtic harvest festivals, in particular the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals can have had pagan roots; knowning that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween because of the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as being 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, along with watching horror films. In many parts in the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles about the graves on 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.
