Halloween is a celebration observed in many countries on October 31st. It begins the observance of the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the departed. Many Halloween traditions were influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, which is believed to have pagan roots.
