Halloween or 'all hallows eve' has its roots in European pre-Christian paganism symbolising the beginning of winter and the burning of leaves and cleansing by fire of all that is old or evil. When Europe converted to Christianity, the early Christians used the festival to search out heathens and burn them on fires along with the fallen leaves etc.
