CHURCH MAKES ORDER
When AC He became DC And Christianity spread, the priests saw with dismay that there were still some stubborn that worshiped or Samhain Pomona (or both two, as the deputy), and that was not correct (for Christians, of course). But if intransigent got lost customers, forgiveness ... devotees.
They had to find a clever way of giving pleasure to all, and that was how they happened to turn on the Christian holiday.
Already in itself brought a problemón with the timetable that they had been insufficient to give him a day to all the saints, then, what better than to spend a single day All Saints' minors (in category I suppose). Thus establishing the November 1 as All Saints Day, which in England (where there was a problem) was called (translated literally) as "All Hallow Day" and the night before was called "All Hallow Even" .
With contractions already known, so accustomed in English, it became "All Hallow E'en" and finally "Halloween".
