1st November marked the day for all the Saints. I google through this web site ( www3.kumc.edu/diversity/ethnic) and got the slight idea on it. (Not that I don't know what All Saints Days mean my whole life). Here what it says ;-
All Saints' Day is a Christian holy day observed by many Western churches on November 1 and by Eastern churches on the first Sunday after Pentecost. The day now honors all saints of the church, even those not known by name.
The first All Saints' Day occurred on May 13, 609 (C.E.) when Pope Boniface IV accepted the Pantheon as a gift from the Emperor Phocas. Boniface dedicated it as the Church of Santa Maria Rotonda in honor of the Blessed Virgin and all martyrs. During Pope Gregory III's reign (731-741), the festival was expanded to include all saints and a chapel in St. Peter's church was dedicated accordingly. Pope Gregory IV officially designated the day in 837.
Roman Catholics are required to attend Mass and to "refrain from unnecessary servile work"¹ on this day.

And there's one site said that "The vigil of this feast is popularly called "Hallowe'en" or "Halloween". That only now I know (kesian o kan)
