Another name for All Saints' Day, celebrated on November 1st as a festival honoring all Christian saints.
From Old English 'eall' (all) + 'hallow' (holy, saint). The word 'hallow' comes from 'halig' meaning holy. This compound name dates back to medieval England.
Allhallows is the reason we call October 31st 'All Hallows' Eve'—the night before people honored all the saints, Christians would prepare spiritually, but over centuries it transformed into Halloween's costumes and candy!
