First of all Halloween. The word Hallow means holy, regard as sacred; or consecrate.

Who do you sacred that night of Halloween? Halloween was practice in the ancient Celtic, in a community in Central Europe century’s ago. Between all who live there priest druids who made rites in the night of October 31st allegedly to repeal evil spirits that night in there homes. In that rite what they did was that they made sacrifice of humans , and animal. That day was a day of horror , blood, and fire , magic , divination’s for does people. In a phrase on the 31st of October was a night to worship Satan. Halloween started in a tribe of idolatrous man or soothsayers man who like to worship Satan . Unfortunately they came through the years with this celebration accepted by many and at the end from the 19 it came to the U.S. by Irish immigrants. Today when you go disguise from a dead person And say "TRICK OR TREAT" means that if they ask for candy and if that person don’t give they threaten them. also the purpose of the costumes were that the priest were wearing masks for their cults of satanic . "Would you like the Idea of wearing mask and costumes that represent what they were doing?" Also If you look most of the costumes they symbolize something from death and Satan.. Please think about it

The name Halloween comes from the 1500’s, & is a variation on All-Hallows-Even, the night before All Saints Day, or All Hallows Day. As with many things, the Catholic Church had a holiday to correspond with an ethnic festivity. To the Catholic’s credit, however, the Feast of All Saints was declared by Pope Gregory III (in the 700’s) & is talked about as early as 700 or 701. The festival actually became a reality & November 1 is the reported date of the Feast of All Saints, though some scholar contend that the original Feast of All Saints took place in April, and that the church changed it to coincide with the festival of Samhain to try to win the Celts over to Catholicism.

Pagan Roman customs may have influenced the practice of offering food to the dead. During Parentalia and Feralia, which were celebrated in
