It proceeds All Saint's Day which is Nov 1st. Halloween was originally all hallow's eve. A hallowed day. It was a day to remember the dead and give them blessings. And I'm sure remember them in your prayers to the saints the following day. It does have pagan roots but the pagans are peaceful earth loving people as anyone who has any knowledge of Wicca knows... In closing I'd like to present exhibit B...which is the fact that our local CATHOLIC church gives out candy for Halloween....nough said....

I went to Salem not last year but the previous two years and loved loved LOVED it. It's like the Mardi Gras of Halloween. You guys have fun and take lots of pictures!!
