The term Halloween 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", which is now also known as All Saints' Day.

The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops.

It is said that on the night of Halloween, the door that separated the world of the living of Beyond was open and the spirits of the dead was a procession in the villages in which they lived. On this night the spirits visited the homes of their relatives, and so that the spirits will not disturb the villagers had put a candle in the window of his home for every deceased person who had been in the family. If there was a candle in memory of each deceased spirits as not to disturb their families if it was not so spirits are disturbed at night and they were falling from terrible nightmares.
