Halloween - in name a contraction of "All Hallows' evening". A celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.
In theory influenced by ancient Celtic harvest festivals, the Gaelic festival Samhain or that Samhain may have been Christianized as All Hallow's Day, along with its eve, by the early Church. Or that Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow's Day.
Nowadays a commercial celebration with activities that include trick-or-treating, attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions or just telling scary stories.
