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 usually a celebration affecting several countries on 31 October, the eve with the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] enough time in the liturgical year specialized in remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and many types of the faithful departed.It is widely thought many Halloween traditions came from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, in particular the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals might have had pagan roots; knowning that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween through the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely being 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, 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 within 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 from the eating of certain vegetarian foods within this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
