Dapat ‘HOLYWEEN’ hindi ‘HALLOWEEN’

It should be now “Holyween’ not “Halloween’, this is what the Christians Communities, years now, in parishes and schools try to give as correction to this ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, and now American and English tradition of the ‘scaring evening’.
Though the word HALLOWEEN finds its origin in the eighteenth century’s Christian tradition, "holy evening" or "hallowed evening", the evening before the ‘All Hallows’ day’, it has lost it meaning to become the representation of evil faces. Many are the countries where, on the evening before the All Saints’ Day, people wear masks or any other kind of make-up to appear the scariest. It is, a TRICK-OR-TREAT that’s all one could say of it. It has nothing of holiness.
