Assinment 11: Halloween "what does it MEEN"

Also known as Hallowe'en, Allhallowe'en, All Hallows' Eve, All Saints' Eve. The story of Halloween has many different versions. according to Wikipedia, many scholars have decided that what we know as Halloween started as a christian feast, influenced by catholic festival and other cultures. But according to Wikipedia Other scholars believe that Halloween is only from christian roots, that Halloween is the evening before the christian holy day of all All Hallows' day. meaning they celebrate the day/evening before all the souls that haven't made it to heaven yet complete their trip to heaven. hence the, "walking dead" and "ghost" theme is so popular because it is the day before the dead rise traditionally according to the scholars that Wikipedia got their information from.
