All Saints Day - The Christianization of Samwin

The name Halloween reveals how the church redeemed the pagan holiday with a biblical alternative. Many scholars believe that when Pope Gregory moved all martyrs day to November 1st, he was very specifically trying to counter this holiday of fear of the dead and worship of the dead. Today, many wickens resent what they call the Christianization of Samwin. They do not like that it's called Halloween. The Halloween name is pointing to all saints day. It's not pointing to Samwin."
