Most holidays memorialize or celebrate something. How about Halloween? What is Halloween actually a festivity of? And how did this peculiar tradition originate? It is such a kind of demon worship? Or is it just a innocent trace of some old pagan ritual where folks get together for parties, dress up in Halloween costumes and eat candies ?
The phrase itself, "Halloween," actually has its roots in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted rottenness of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of notice in respect of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially complete on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.
