| | Halloween - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Halloween was also sometimes called All Saints' Eve. | | | The mingling of Christian and Pagan traditions in the development of Halloween, and its real or assumed preoccupation with evil and the supernatural, have left many modern Christians uncertain of how they should react towards the holiday. | | | The secular celebration of Halloween may loom larger in contemporary imagination than does All Saints Day. |

| | According to these tales, the soul of a deceased person named Jack O’Lantern was barred from both heaven and hell and was condemned to wander the earth with his lantern. | | | All Souls’ Day, closer in spirit to Samhain and modern Halloween, was first instituted at a French monastery in 998 and quickly spread throughout Europe. | | | New England was initially settled by English Puritans, members of a strict Protestant sect that rejected Halloween as a Catholic and pagan holiday (see Puritanism). |

| | The Halloween Encyclopedia by Lisa Morton |
| | The first book devoted solely to Halloween was published a little over a century ago, and most since have revolved around fairy tales and legends. | | | Morton has an easy appreciation for late twentieth century cultural products like John Carpenter's 'Halloween' (1979), but no apparent insight whatsoever into what the 'Jack-O'-Lantern' might have meant to twentieth century audiences, or might mean to celebrants of the present era. | | | Both books sacrifice an inherent sense of wonder in the name of scholarly and/or academic respectability, with fairly sterile results, unlike, for instance, comparable works by British historian Ronald Hutton. |

| | Halloween |
| | The wearing of costumes, for instance, and roaming from door to door demanding treats can be traced to the Celtic period and the first few centuries of the Christian era, when it was thought that the souls of the dead were out and around, along with fairies, witches, and demons. | | | In the early centuries of the first millennium A.D., before missionaries such as St. Patrick and St. Columcille converted them to Christianity, the Celts practiced an elaborate religion through their priestly caste, the Druids, who were priests, poets, scientists and scholars all at once. | | | On that day all manner of beings were abroad: ghosts, fairies, and demons--all part of the dark and dread. |
