HOLLOWEEN
Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of All Hallows' Evening), also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve,or All Saints' Eve,is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints(hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.
It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals may have had paganroots; and that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween by the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, separate from ancient festivals like Samhain
Halloween activities include
trick-or-treating (or the related
guising), attending
Halloween costume parties, carving
pumpkins into
jack-o'-lanterns, lighting
bonfires,
apple bobbing,
divination games, playing
pranks, visiting
haunted attractions, telling scary stories and watching
horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting
candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically
abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain vegetarian foods on this
vigilday, including
apples,
potato pancakes, and
soul cakes.
CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE ABOUT HOLLOWEEN
Today's Halloween customs are also thought to have been influenced by Christian dogma and practices derived from it. Halloween is the evening before the
Christian holy days of
All Hallows' Day (also known as
All Saints' or Hallowmas) on 1 November and
All Souls' Day on 2 November, thus giving the holiday on 31 October the full name of
All Hallows' Eve (meaning the evening before All Hallows' Day). Since the time of the
early Church,
major feasts in Christianity (such as
Christmas,
Easter and
Pentecost) had
vigils that began the night before, as did the feast of All Hallows'. These three days are collectively called
Allhallowtide and are a time for honoring the
saints and praying for the recently departed
souls who have yet to reach Heaven. Commemorations of all saints and martyrs were held by several churches on various dates, mostly in springtime. In 609,
Pope Boniface IV re-dedicated the
Pantheon in Rome to "St Mary and all martyrs" on 13 May. This was the same date as
Lemuria, an
ancient Roman festival of the dead, and the same date as the commemoration of all saints in
Edessa in the time of
Ephrem.
The feast of All Hallows', on its current date in the Western Church, may be traced to
Pope Gregory III's (731–741) founding of an
oratory in
St Peter's for the relics "of the holy apostles and of all saints, martyrs and confessors". In 835, All Hallows' Day was officially switched to 1 November, the same date as Samhain, at the behest of
Pope Gregory IV. Some suggest this was due to Celtic influence, while others suggest it was a Germanic idea, although it is claimed that both Germanic and Celtic-speaking peoples commemorated the dead at the beginning of winter. They may have seen it as the most fitting time to do so, as it is a time of 'dying' in nature. It is also suggested that the change was made on the "practical grounds that Rome in summer could not accommodate the great number of pilgrims who flocked to it", and perhaps because of
public health considerations regarding
Roman Fever – a disease that claimed a number of lives during the sultry summers of the region.
