This is a holy day for some Christians- the Eve of All Saints Day. Encyclopedia Britannica has information about Halloween- its history and evolution into a more adult oriented holiday.
On This Day in Encyclopedia Britannica according to tradition, Martin Luther this day in 1517 posted on a church door in Wittenberg, Germany, his Ninety-five Theses, a manifesto that turned a protest about an indulgence scandal into the Protestant Reformation.
I wonder what Martin Luther would think of Halloween in the United States?
