Allehelgensdag falder den første søndag i november, ifølge den Danske Folkekirke.

Men i andre dele af Skandinavien som Danmark er en del af, fejres helligdagen natten for, faktisk om lørdagen efter den 31. oktober.

Den 1st November er i ifølge den vestlige kalender Allehelgensdag og tillader at Halloween falder den 31. oktober.

Halloween er ikke en dansk tradition men i de senere år har det fundet indpas i Danmark.

De fleste virksomheder i Danmark er åbne på Allehelgensdag da det ikke er en officiel hellidag.

Betydningen af Allehelgen har historisk set været til for at ære alle helgener, både dem der er kendte og dem der er ukendte.

Helligdagen markerer også løst begyndelsen af juletiden.

Mange danskere bruger Allehelgensdag på at besøge gravene for deres kære, som er gået bort.

De bringer ofte lys og dekorationer til at sætte på gravene i erindringen om deres liv.

Da natten falder er mange dele af Danmark oplyst af et utal af stearinlys, der dækker jorden.

I nogle kirker i landet læses navnene på de kristne, som er gået bort, højt under gudstjenesten.

Allehelgensdag var to separate helligdage i den Katolske kirke, de faldt på d. 1. og 2. november.

Allehelgensdag var forbeholdt til at minde helgerne, især dem, der var døde for deres tro.

2. november var Allesjælesdag og forbeholdt til at bede for de døde, med det formål at hjælpe dem gennem skærsilden og dermed ind i himlen.

Efter reformation troede Protestanter ikke længere på skærsilden, og derfor er Allesjælesdag blevet en del af Allehelgensdag, således at alle døde kristne mindes på denne dag.

----Formal English----

All Saints' Day usually falls on the first Sunday in November, according to the Danish National Church.

However, in other parts of Scandinavia, of which Denmark is a part, the holiday is actually celebrated on the night before on the Saturday right after October 30th.

The 1st of November is the western calendar's All Saints Day and this allows for Halloween to fall on the 31st of October.

Halloween is not a Danish observance but lately it has gained fame in Denmark. Most businesses in Denmark are open on All Saints' Day since this day is not considered a public holiday.

Historically, the significance of All Saints' Day has been to honor the saints, both those who are known and those who are unknown.

The holiday also loosely marks the beginning of the Christmas season.

Many Danes spend All Saints' Day visiting the graves of loved ones who have passed away.

They often bring candles and decorations to put on the graves in remembrance of their lives.

By the time night falls on the holiday, many parts of Denmark are illuminated by a myriad of candles covering the ground.

At some churches in the country, the names of Christians who have passed away are read aloud during a church service.

All Saints' Day was originally two separate holidays in the Catholic church falling on November 1 and 2.

All Saints' Day was reserved for remembering the saints, particularly those who had died for their faith.

November 2, All Souls' Day, was reserved for praying for the dead with the goal of helping them pass through purgatory and enter heaven.

After the Reformation the Protestants no longer believe in purgatory, and All Souls' Day has come to be part of All Saints' Day in that all deceased Christians are remembered on this day.
