Halloween[a] is a celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows\' Day. It is at the beginning of the observance of Allhallowtide,[11] the time in the Christian liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.[3][12][13][14] In popular culture, Halloween has become a celebration of horror and is associated with the macabre and the supernatural.[15]
One theory holds that many Halloween traditions were influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, which are believed to have pagan roots.[16][17][18][19] Some theories go further and suggest that Samhain may have been Christianized as All Hallows\' Day, along with its eve, by the early Church.[20] Other academics say Halloween began independently as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallows\' Day.[21][22][23][24] Celebrated in Ireland and Scotland for centuries, Irish and Scottish immigrants took many Halloween customs to North America in the 19th century,[25][26] and then through American influence various Halloween customs spread to other countries by the late 20th and early 21st century.[15][27]
