BrainEmail Trivia

Sunday October 30, 2005

Ok, . . . .what does Halloween mean?

It is the shortened form of “All Hallow Even” or All Saints’ Eve.

It can also be spelled Hallowe’en.

Hallowmas is literally All Saints Mass – it stands for All Saints
Day on November 1st.

Hallow comes from the AS: halgian, from halig or holy.

The AS: halga, or saint, survives in Hallowmas, Hallowe’en and
All Hallows.
