William Bell Scott – The Butler’s Surprise on All Hallows Eve (1811-1890)

“On old Pagan and Celtic calendars, November 1 was the beginning of the new year and was traditionally considered a holy day. Christians eventually adopted that idea, and in the eighth century, Pope Gregory III proclaimed November 1 a day for honoring all saints and martyrs: All Saints’ Day, which was also known as All Hallows’ Day.

The word Halloween was initially written as Hallow E’en or Hallow-e’en, which meant Holy Eve. In other words, it was the eve of a holy day. The -een in Halloween is actually a squished together form of e’en, which is a contracted form of even. Even is an old-timey shortened form of evening.”
