the triduum of Hallowmas, the time in the liturgical
year dedicated to remembering the dead,
including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed
believers.[7]
According to many scholars, All Hallows' Eve is
a Christianized feast initially influenced byCeltic harvest
festivals,[8][9] with possible pagan roots, particularly
the GaelicSamhain.[6][10][11] Other academics maintain that it
originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian
roots.[12]
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or
the related "guising" or "trunk-or-treating"),
attending costume parties, decorating,
carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple
bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling
scary stories, and watching horror films. Because many
Western Christian denominations encourage, although no
longer require, abstinence from meat on All Hallows' Eve,[13] the
tradition of eating certain vegetarian foods for this vigil
daydeveloped, including the consumption of
apples, colcannon, cider, potato pancakes, andsoul cakes.
