The word "Halloween" is derived from All Hallows Eve, which occurs on November 1. The "All Hollows Day" or "All Saints Day". It is an important date on the Catholic calendar, a time to observe and honor saints.
People believed that the souls of the dead come back to earth to visit their families or friends. People began to call November 1st as a holy or "Hallowed" day. It was to be called Al Hallow's Day. Which was later shortened to what we know today as Halloween. |

Halloween Night
Driving home one Halloween night,
I thought I saw a witch take flight.

"Nothing on Earth so beautiful as the
final haul on Halloween night."

"Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!"

Tonight is the night
Tonight is the night,
To have a great fright,
Don't be surprised nor scared,... |
