Happy Halloween
"The word itself, 'Halloween,' actually has its
origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All
Hallows Eve. November 1, 'All Hollows Day' (or 'All Saints
Day'), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th
century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The
holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year." - http://wilstar.com/holidays/hallown.htm
