HAPPY
HOLLOWEEN DAY :-
What day is Halloween 2013? Will the big night fall on a weekend? See our chart below
listing days for 2013, 2014, and 2015.
Halloween was a popular pagan
festival of the dead (Samhain).
The ancient Celts celebrated the new year on November 1. They believed that the
souls of the dead returned to Earth the night before.
Samhain is Gaelic for “summer’s end,” a day to bid good-bye to
warmth and light as day length shortens.
In
an attempt to replace this festival, the church moved the celebration of All
Saints to November 1. This is the day when all of the saints are honored,
especially those who did not have a day of their own. This day was formerly
known as Allhallowmas, hallow meaning
"holy" or "holy person." All Saints Day is known in England
