Halloween Origin of name

The term Halloween, originally spelled Hallowe’en, is shortened from All Hallows’ Eve ("All Hallows’ Eve") [eve is an abbreviation of even, an older word for evening. Halloween gets -een as a contraction of even to e＇en], from the Old English term eallra hālgena ?fen meaning "All Hallow’ Evening", as it is the eve of "All Hallows’ Day",[10] which is now also known as All Saints’ Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European pagan traditions,[11] until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints’ Day from May 13 (which had itself been the date of a pagan holiday, the Feast of the Lemures) to November 1. In the 9th century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints’ Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day. Also Halloween is a time were both the living and the dead can be together again in this one holiday.
