In parts of Italy until the 15th century, families left a meal out for the ghosts of relatives, before leaving for church services. [82] In 19th-century Italy, churches staged "theatrical re-enactments of scenes from the lives of the saints" on All Hallow's Day, with "participants represented by realistic wax figures". [82] In 1823, the graveyard of Holy Spirit Hospital in Rome presented a scene in which bodies of those who recently died were arrayed around a wax statue of an angel who pointed upward towards heaven. [82] In the same country, "parish priests went house-to-house, asking for small gifts of food which they shared among themselves throughout that night". [82] In Spain, they continue to bake special pastries called "bones of the holy" (Spanish: Huesos de Santo) and set them on graves. [103] At cemeteries in Spain and France, as well as in Latin America, priests lead Christian processions and services during Allhallowtide, after which people keep an all night vigil. [104] In 19th-century San Sebastián, there was a procession to the city cemetery at Allhallowtide, an event that drew beggars who "appeal[ed] to the tender recollectons of one's deceased relations and friends" for sympathy.

All Hallows' Eve falls on 31st October each year, and is the day before All Hallows' Day, also known as All Saints' Day in the Christian calendar. The Church traditionally held a vigil on All Hallows' Eve when worshippers would prepare themselves with prayers and fasting prior to the feast day itself. In Ireland and Scotland, the turnip has traditionally been carved during Halloween, [153] [154] but immigrants to North America used the native pumpkin, which is both much softer and much larger, making it easier to carve than a turnip. [153] The American tradition of carving pumpkins is recorded in 1837 [155] and was originally associated with harvest time in general, not becoming specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 19th century.
