Ahhh....Satans favorite holyday. Its evolved into that. Illuminati love dressing up in masks, its a party practice of European elite going back hundreds of years. Today people go out a get candy from strangers, dress up, teens cause havoc, people try and get scared and scare each other. Christian holyday? Well Roman Catholicism is built on paganism, so... Islamic holyday? Hell no. Learn something before you blindly follow religious days of pagans. And I have more right to follow than most of you, being my blood is Irish, and its Irish Celtic pagan Holyday. But Im not pagan, Im Muslim. From Wiki: Samhain is mentioned in some of the earliest Irish literature and is known to have pre-Christian roots. Many important events in Irish mythology happen or begin on Samhain. It was the time when cattle were brought back down from the summer pastures and when livestock were slaughtered for the winter. As at Beltane, special bonfires were lit. These were deemed to have protective and cleansing powers and there were rituals involving them.[2] Samhain (like Beltane) was seen as a liminal time, when the spirits or fairies (the Aos Sí) could more easily come into our world. Most scholars see the Aos Sí as remnants of the pagan gods and nature spirits. It was believed that the Aos Sí needed to be propitiated to ensure that the people and their livestock survived the winter. Offerings of food and drink were left for them. The souls of the dead were also thought to revisit their homes. Feasts were had, at which the souls of dead kin were beckoned to attend and a place set at the table for them. Mumming and guising were part of the festival, and involved people going door-to-door in costume (or in disguise), often reciting verses in exchange for food. The costumes may have been a way of imitating, or disguising oneself from, the Aos Sí. Divination rituals were also a big part of the festival and often involved nuts and apples. IG : Futuremuslim
