Eve is short for ‘evening’ and is abbreviated to e’en or een, which is why it is now known as Halloween.Halloween is believed to originate from Christian practices and traditions. It is thought to be the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows’ Day on November 1 and All Souls’ Day on November 2.
