Here’s a quick history lesson for my fellow Texas Tech football fans. According to History.com, in the eighth century, Pope Gregory III decreed that November 1st would be known as All Saints Day, a time to remember the Saints of the Christian Church as well as those who gave their lives as martyrs for their faith. Soon, October 31st became referred to All Hallows Eve because All Saints Day was also known by many people as All-hallows.
Since then, the holiday that’s been synonymous with the dead has brought out the spooks and spirits for just about everyone.
