Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is a holiday celebrated on October 31. It has
roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints’ Day. It is
largely a secular celebration, but some Christians and pagans have expressed strong
feelings about its religious overtones.
All Saints' Day (also called All Hallows or Hallowmas), often shortened to All Saints,is a
feast celebrated on November 1 in Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after
Pentecost in Eastern Christianity in honour of all the saints, known and unknown.
In terms of Western Christian theology, the feast commemorates all those who have
attained the beatific vision in heaven. Specifically, in the Roman Catholic Church,
the next day, All Souls' Day, commemorates the departed faithful who haven't yet
been purified and reached heaven.
Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America during Ireland's
Great Famine of 1846. The day is often associated with the colours orange and black,
and is strongly associated with symbols such as the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween
activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes, ghost tours, bonfires, costume
parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, pranking people,
reading scary stories, and watching horror movies. For more
