Halloween a contraction of all hallos evening also known as All Hallows Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows Day. It initiates the dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (Hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departs believers.
According to many scholars, All Hallows Eve is a christianized feast influenced by Celtic harvest festivals. Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, decorating carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
Halloween Today does still share those same historical beliefs. When I was much younger I recall going to harvest festivities. Over the years, this day has become more dangerous for parents and kids to enjoy. Even though there are some people who still enjoy and believe in going out and celebrating the evening there are some who take a negative approach foe the night. Those who doesnt celebrate for religious reason believe this is a day of celebrating the devil. Everyone has there own approach on what this day and it's celebrations consist of.
I hope everyone had a safe Halloween.
