Halloween:

Can anyone explain something to me that has been confusing me for a long time? Halloween is supposed to be All Hallows' Eve, right? But All Hallows' Day (now called All Souls' Day) is kept on November 2, while November 1 is All Saints' Day. So why isn't All Hallows' Eve the evening of November 1 since October 31 is technically All Saints' Eve?

I'm sure it's some sort of pagan festival thing, but I didn't think most pagan festivals were that specific with the dates.

And yes, I've got too much time on my hands.
