The word Halloween is sometimes spelled as Halloween. The name Halloween is an abbreviation of All Hallows even. Many claim that the name Allhallows is a Christian holiday known as All Saints’.
The word hallow is used especially in the case of saints. Which means – ‘holy’. You may be surprised to know that when Halloween was first used in writing in English, the day was not 31 October.
November 1 was recognized then. In the Western Christian liturgical calendar, 1st November is known as All Saints’ Day to honor Christian saints.

The origin of Halloween Video
About 200 years ago, Celts lived in Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France. These Celts used to celebrate the 1st of November as New Year’s Day. This day was a day between the end of summer and the beginning of winter when all the crops were harvested and many people died during this time.
The Celts believed that on the day before the beginning of this new year, i.e. October 31st, the boundary between the world of the living and the world of death would blur, and on this 31st October, the ghost of death would enter the living animal world, i.e. the earth. So the Celts organized a ceremony on October 31. This ceremony was known as Samhain.
This Samhain ceremony derives its name from Halloween. To commemorate this festival, the Celts built a huge bonfire, in this bonfire, they sacrificed crops and animals. The purpose of sacrificing crops and animals at this bonfire was to appease the Celtic deities. During this sacrifice, everyone wore animal skins, and heads and tried to tell each other’s fortunes.
