I’m Writing A Story At The Moment About A Small Small Town That Was Built With Magic.
The town is so small it has only a one room school house, and 179 population. I would like to know what year that the holiday ‘Halloween’ was declared a holiday, because the story shifts between the present time, and 200 years before when it was built, on Halloween. By present time, I mean back when they still used one room school houses. Any help with the Halloween holiday problem would be appreciated!
* If Halloween was declared a holiday only recently (after AD1800) then I suppose I could make some changes *
It used to be called All Hallow’s Eve, and it wasn’t a scary holiday but a night when spirits roamed the Earth. In 1808 they would have called it All Hallow’s Eve. It didn’t become Halloween with costumes and such until the 1850s and 1860s, when the Irish and Scotttish immigrants who were Catholic popularized that aspect of it. Before that it was considered a time of harvest.
well techinically there wasnt i defined year considering it was originally hallows eve…http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
