For Michele Bachmann and others who still insist on believing Halloween is somehow Satan Worship, this is from Wikipedia: Todays Halloween customs are also thought to have been influenced by Christian dogma and practices derived from it. Halloween falls on the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows Day (also known as All Saints, Hallowmas or Hallowtide) on November 1 and All Souls Day on November 2, thus giving the holiday on October 31 the full name of All Hallows Eve.[35] These three days are collectively referred to as Hallowmas and are a time for honoring the saints and praying for the recently departed souls who have yet to reach Heaven Also this: Souling, the custom of baking and sharing soul cakes for all christened souls,[39] has been suggested as the origin of trick-or-treating.[40] The custom was found in parts of England and dates back at least as far as the 15th century.[
