"The ancient people believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the living and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops."
Where did the word "Halloween" come from?
- it is shortened from All Hallows' Even (both "even" and "eve" are abbreviations of "evening," but "Halloween" gets its "n" from "even) as it is the eve of all hallows day.
- it is also known as All Saints Day.
