It is okay to "celebrate"Halloween as we would "celebrate" the eve of any Christian feast day. Halloween is not Samain, the old Celtic festival marking the end of the old year and the beginning of the new, even though a number of its customs have migrated to Halloween. It is the eve of Hallowmas, or All Hallows Day, a Christian feast day on which all saints, known and unknown, are honored. It is also a feast day on which all the faithful departed are remembered. "Hallow" is an old English way of saying "saint" and Halloween is derived from All Hallows Even, which became Hallowe'en and then Halloween over the centuries. Halloween and Hallowmas form together the liturgical season of Hallowtide. In Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States a number of churches are named All Hallows Church or the Church of All Hallows. All Hallows by the Tower is the oldest church in the city of London and and was founded by the Abbey of Barking in 675 AD, 300 years before the Tower of London. Parents need to teach their children about the real Halloween and why Christians celebrate Halloween and Hallowmas.
