Halloween (Christian holidays, religious holidays, ... Events (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The evening before All Saints’ Day, observed on October 31. It initiates the season of All Saints, which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls' Day. In much of Europe and most of North America, the observance of Halloween is largely nonreligious and has taken on the customs of pre-Christian autumnal festivals, such as the festival of Samhain among the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... De avond voor Allerheiligen, op 31 oktober. Met deze avond begint de Allerheiligenperiode, die drie dagen duurt en wordt afgesloten op Allerzielen. In grote delen van Europa en Noord-Amerika is de viering van Halloween grotendeels niet-religieus en zijn in de festiviteiten de gebruiken van prechristelijke herfstfeesten opgenomen, zoals het Samhainfestival van de Kelten uit het oude Brittannië en Ierland. |
