The celebration of All Hallows' Eve has ancient Celtic origins. What we know as Halloween today is a colorful union of customs evolved from a pagan festival that celebrated the end of the summer and the harvest season. When the Christian church began to expand its influences, the focus of the old pagan rituals was reassociated with All Saints' or Hallows' Day. The night before this feast became known as All Hallows' Even, abbreviated as Hallowe'en. This spelling remained in place until well into the 1930s.

Hallowe'en has not always been the night of ghoulish and garish decorations, candy and trick-or-treating we know today. Using much of the now-forgotten folklore brought to this country by Irish, Scottish and English immigrants, Hallowe'en celebrations in the early 1900s were occasions for young adults to gather and peer into the future for love and marriage, fate and fortune. This holiday was an opportunity to host a "frolic" with a romantic theme.

The fall fruit, the cornstalks, the witches, ghosts and goblins, the wearing of costumes and even the carved The Legend Designated Smoking Area The Potion Sisters pumpkin jack-o'-lanterns we still decorate with today 6:45, 7:15, 7:45 & 8:15 p.m. of Greenfield Village (8:45, 9.15 p.m. Fri., Sat. & Thurs., all have symbolism that connects to the ancient ATM October 27, only) Celtic customs.
