Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), generally known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, can be 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] enough time in the liturgical year devoted to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all of the faithful departed.It is widely considered that many Halloween traditions comes from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, specially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could possibly have had pagan roots; knowning that 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 (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, along with watching horror films. In many parts from 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 often 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 about this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
