Best Answer

Halloween (also spelt Hallowe'en) is derived from the old English ie. hallow or hallowed meaning holy and een or e'en meaning evening). This 'Holy Evening' refers to the Roman Catholic celebration of All Souls Day Day (31 October) when it is said that God allows the souls of the dead to roam the earthly world. The faithful may pray for the departed. All Souls' Day is followed by All Saints' Day (1 November) when the Church venerates all the saints on the Church's calendar of saints. Sometimes, during the year, a particular saint or many saints may not have their feast days observed as they may be eclipsed by a more important religious festival. It is beneficial to note that Halloween has its origins in ancient Celtic pagan festivals.
