Halloween

In medieval times this was called "All Hallows Eve". Hallow is an old word meaning "holy" and "e´en" is Scottish for " evening".

October 31st is the day before the Feast of All Saints and was originally the eve of the new year in both Celtic (the Feast of the Death) and Anglo-Saxon times. The Celts lived in the British Isles during ancient times. They were pagans. They believe in the gods of nature.
