Halloween, or Hallowe'en (/ÌhælYÈwiÐn, -oŠÈiÐn, ÌhQÐl-/; a contraction of "All Hallows’ Evening"),[5] also known as Allhalloween,[6] All Hallows' Eve,[7] or All Saints' Eve,[8] is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.[10][11] According to many scholars, All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast influenced by Celtic harvest festivals,[1][12] with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain.[7][13][14] Other scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.[1][15] Since Halloween is a religious function it too should be banned from all schools and government places?

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends. Paul Craig Roberts

Name a "Christ"ian holiday that doesn't have syncretic roots. My favorite is Ishtar-SUN-day.
