Halloween or “undas” is a contraction of All Hallows’ Eve, a holiday celebrated on October 31, the evening before All Saints’ (or All Hallows’) Day. The celebration marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints.
This also marks the beginning of Allhallowtide which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls’ Day. However, the majority of Europe and much of North America treat Holloween as a non-religious holiday.
