Hallowtide

This weekend, the Church celebrates what is called “Hallowtide,” or the feasts of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. The name “Hallowtide” comes from the older English version of the name All Hallows Day. “Hallow” means holy or saintly, which incidentally means that Halloween (All Hallows Eve), despite the secular world’s attempt to assert otherwise, is actually originally a Christian holiday.
