Very interesting stuff, I didn't know any of this.
I was just fed with what Hollywood serves us as Halloween, like everybody else here.

The extra info makes it even more interesting, especially the pagan connection.

Maybe it was because of the latter that we don't have anything similar in the orthodox church; pagans were chased mercilessly during the byzantine years, lots of ancient Greek texts and works of art (sculptures mainly) were vandalized/destroyed by the early Christians, only the ones agreeing with what the Church had to say were preserved.
The Orthodox church's view on the matter makes it even more intriguing for further research. Maybe they just ignore the fact that even Christmas has pagan roots, but anyway...
