Shalista yep. I believe that was in my first post one needed to read farther down. The Catholic Religion just combined religious holidays/celebrations. I wanted to cover all religions that celebrated Halloween.

It is interesting if one is politically correct Halloween is now called "Fall Festival" which I find interesting. "The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death."
