* All Hallows Eve, another name for Halloween

Halloween or Hallowe ' en ( a contraction of its original title " All Hallows ' Evening "), also known as All Hallows ' Eve, is a yearly holiday observed around the world on October 31, the eve before the Western Christian feast of All Hallows.

According to some scholars, All Hallows ' Eve initially incorporated traditions from pagan harvest festivals and festivals honoring the dead, particularly the Celtic Samhain ; other scholars maintain that the feast originated entirely independently of Samhain.

The word Halloween was first used in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows '- Even (" evening "), that is, the night before All Hallows ' Day.

Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English ( ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints ), All-Hallows-Even is itself not seen until 1556.

Halloween is also thought to have been heavily influenced by the Christian holy days of All Saints ' Day ( also known as Hallowmas, All Hallows, and Hallowtide ) and All Souls ' Day.

It was traditionally believed that the souls of the departed wandered the earth until All Saints ' Day, and All Hallows ' Eve provided one last chance for the dead to gain vengeance on their enemies before moving onto the next world.

Andrewes was born in 1555 near All Hallows, Barking, by the Tower of London-originally a dependency of Barking Abbey in Barking, Essex, of an ancient Suffolk family later domiciled at Chichester Hall, Rawreth ; his father, Thomas, was master of Trinity House.

* All Saints ' Day ( formerly All Hallows Day ), a Christian holy day, is celebrated on November 1.

The day before, Halloween, is therefore " All Hallows Eve ".

With Christianization, the festival in November ( not the Roman festival in May ) became All Hallows ' Day on November 1 followed by All Souls ' Day, on November 2.
