what is halloween (Halloween or Hallowe'en)

Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated in many parts of the world on October 31st-------------- Halloween is a secular holiday combining vestiges of traditional harvest festival celebrations with customs more peculiar to the observance such as costume wearing........ Halloween falls on the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows' Day (also known as All Saints', Hallowmas or Hallowtide)

Samhain was the name of the Druid god of the dead.................. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IoJQz7OVRQ
