Halloween in 2022 is on the Monday, 31th of October (31/10/2022).
Halloween means "Saints' evening". Halloween word has been derived from a Scottish term for 'All Hallows' Eve' (i.e. the evening before All Hallows' Day). It is also called as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, Hallowe’en or All Saints' Eve.
Halloween falls on October 31 every year. Halloween is dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the departed. It is observed by the western Christians and many non-Christians around the world.
It is celebrated by the people in the United States by wearing scary costumes of monsters, ghosts, and devils to scare away the harmful spirits. In this manner, people try to pacify the restless spirits on Halloween. In order to make Halloween memorable, people carve pumpkins, watch scary movies, light bonfires, play Halloween music, decorate house, do apple bobbing, play pranks, or visit haunted places.
