“all hallow’s eve”
(october 31)
(the night before halloween is “mischief night”)
(the day after halloween is “all saint’s day”)
(based on the celtic festival “samhain”)
.
or Hallowe’en (a contraction of All Hallows’ Evening),
also known as
Allhalloween,
All Hallows’ Eve,
or All Saints’ Eve)
.
*”halloween” is a celebration observed in a number of countries on ‘october 31st’, the eve of the western christian feast of ‘all hallows’ day’*
.
(it begins the 3-day observance of allhallowtide, the time in the ‘liturgical year’ dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (‘hallows’), ‘martyrs’, and ‘all the faithful departed’)
(it is widely believed that many halloween traditions originated from Celtic harvest festivals which may have pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, and that this festival was Christianized as ‘halloween’)
(some academics, however, support the view that Halloween began independently as a solely christian holiday)
(‘halloween’ activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories and watching ‘horror films’)
(in many parts of the world, the ‘christian religious’ observances of All Hallows’ Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration)
(some christians historically abstained from meat on ‘all hallows’ eve’, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain foods on this vigil day, including [‘apples, ‘potato pancakes’ / ‘soul cakes’])
