    Hello there


    The famous word Halloween which is originally spelled Halloween is a contraction of All Hallows Even which further means that this famous day before All Hallows Day better known as All Saints Day.

    This is a Catholic holiday commemorating Christian saints and martyrs observed since the early middle Ages on November 1. Halloween is a well celebrated event all over the world where Christian community exists.


    Like others believes, a very popular belief about Halloween is an ancient tradition which was initially created between pagans and Christians. The story is quite interesting as later it was shifted over to paganism rather than christens.


    Later on it was abbreviated from all Hallows Eve. Typically the day of Halloween is associated with a day when demons, ghosts, zombies etc came back from the dead on earth. Many Hollywood movies have been made on the same topic. It was the same day when all saints day was when the angels, saints etc came down from the heavens and fought with the goulies and banished them back to h**l.


    I hope this will help you, still need some information than do consult me.


    Thanks
