| What began as a celebration of the end of the year (and a day when spirits of the dead were believed to walk the earth), later became part of a three-day Christian holiday called Hallowmas, a combination of Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. All Saints' Day, originally known as Hallowmas, has its origins in the many and varied local church remembrances of their dead. |
