Just as we have a Triduum at Easter, from Good Friday to Easter Sunday, known as the Paschal Triduum, so also, we have another Triduum, known as the 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗱𝘂𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 or 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗲.

Allhallowtide is a Triduum of the dead, initiated by Pope Gregory III and consists of Halloween, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day.
This is a period in the liturgical year to mock death and to both remember and celebrate the dead, including martyrs, saints, and all faithful departed Christians.
Halloween was originally called All Hallows Even, meaning the eve or evening marking the celebration of all the hallowed souls of the dead. Hallowed is another word for “holy”, and Halloween itself is the eve or evening before the celebration of the holy souls e.g. the saints—the very reason why All Saints’ Day follows after All Hallows’ Even or Halloween.
Over time, All Hallows Even was then contracted to All Hallows E’en and finally Halloween.
