What Is Halloween?
October is finally here, which means the spooky season is in full swing.From planning a marathon of the best Halloween movies to assembling the perfect costume (or couple's costume for a dynamic duo),anticipation for the Halloween holiday occupies most of the month.
But what is Halloween? In America, the highly commercialized celebration brings to mind trick-or-treating and fun gatherings filled with Halloween party games and spooky treats,but the holiday has some convoluted origins to say the least. Is Halloween a religious holiday? Or a secular one? Is it Christian? Or pagan?The answer is yes, yes, yes, and yes—and largely depends on your beliefs and how you celebrate.
So let's cut through the confusion by revisiting the history of Halloween and the origins of some of its most beloved traditions.
What is the meaning of Halloween?
The current English name Halloween traces back to medieval Christianity.The word hallow is derived from the Middle and Old English words for holy.As a noun, it can also mean saint. In those days, the Christian holiday we know as All Saints' Day was called All Hallows' Day, and the day before,when an evening mass was held, was All Hallows' Eve. That name eventually got shortened to Halloween.
