Since today is All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween, I decided I'd jump on the hay-ride of people telling the origin of the holiday. Here's a little snippet that I found while surfing the internet. I'll add more as the day goes on.

word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. 
It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All 
Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor 
of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially 
ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (pronounced sow-in), which 
means "end of summer", the Celtic New year.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/14B26765-B445-4AEE-83C8-18F95AD6EB21/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
