Setiap tahunnya, masa ini mulai pada tanggal 31 Oktober. [12]Allhallowtide merupakan masa - masa mengenang orang - orang yang sudah meninggal, termasuk Martir, Orang Suci, serta semua Umat Taat Kristiani yang telah meninggal. [13] Tanggal Hallowmas (Masa Para Kudus) saat ini dan juga tanggal peringatannya (Hallowe'en) ditetapkan di Roma kemungkinan oleh Paus Gregorius III (731–741) dan diwajibkan di seluruh Kerajaan Franka oleh Ludwig yang Saleh pada tahun 835. Di tempat lain, tanggal lainnya diperingati bahkan lebih lambat, seperti di Irlandia yang pada tanggal 20 April. [14] Pada awal abad ke-11, tanggal modern Hari Arwah dipopulerkan, setelah Kepala Biara Odilo dari Kluni menetapkannya sebagai hari bagi para biarawan Cluny dan biara-biara terkait untuk mendoakan mereka yang telah meninggal.

Just as the term "Eastertide" expresses for us the whole of the church services and ancient customs attached to the festival of Easter, from Palm Sunday until Easter Monday, so does All-hallowtide include for us all the various customs, obsolete and still observed, of Halloween, All Saints' and All Souls' Days. From the 31st of October until the morning of the 3d of November, this period of three days, known as All-hallowtide, is full of traditional and legendary lore.

The relics related to departed saints were placed on display during the Hallowmas season and special blessings were often promised for the veneration of these relics. In those towns and villages that were too small or poor to host a display of relics, a tradition arose which honored the lives of devoted believers by dressing like and impersonating them. Among some contemporary Christians, similar efforts have been used for the sake of appreciation rather than veneration or worship.Parameter |url-status= yang tidak diketahui akan diabaikan (bantuan)

All Saints' Day is the centerpiece of an autumn triduum. In the carnival celebrations of All Hallows' Eve our ancestors used the most powerful weapon in the hoomans arsenal, the power of humor and ridicule to confront the power of death. The following day, in the commemoration of All Saints, we gave witness to the victory of incarnate goodness embodied in remarkable deeds and doers triumphing over the misantrhopy of darkness and devils. And in the commemoration of All Souls we proclaimed the hope of common mortality expressed in our aspirations and expectations of a shared eternity.

Thus Pope Boniface IV created All Saints Day, known as "All Hallomas" in old English, which was celebrated on November 1. Since Samhain was the day before, it became known as "All Hallows Eve," the origin of the word, "Halloween." The Church furthered its control of All Hallows Eve in the year 1000 A.D. by designating November 2 as All Souls' Day, which was celebrated very similarly to Samhain, with bonfires, parades and costumes. Soon all three holidays became one celebration known as Hallowmas.
