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. [19] [20] [21] [22] Some go further and suggest that Samhain may have been Christianized as All Hallow's Day, along with its eve, by the early Church. [23] Other academics believe Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow's Day. [24] [25] [26] [27] Celebrated in Ireland and Scotland for centuries, Irish and Scottish immigrants took many Halloween customs to North America in the 19th century, [28] [29] and then through American influence various Halloween customs spread to other countries by the late 20th and early 21st century.

Retrieved 23 October 2018.Halloween costumes were traditionally modeled after figures such as vampires, ghosts, skeletons, scary looking witches, and devils. [67] Over time, the costume selection extended to include popular characters from fiction, celebrities, and generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses. Today, Christian attitudes towards Halloween are diverse. In the Anglican Church, some dioceses have chosen to emphasize the Christian traditions associated with All Hallow's Eve. [255] [256] Some of these practices include praying, fasting and attending worship services. [3] [6] [7]
