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.

Sofia: Banen er frygtelig med alt det mudder! Det skal nok blive et sjovt løb i år.

Mia: Du skulle ikke have deltaget i løbet ligesom min bror?

Sofia: Nej, jeg synes, det må være forfærdeligt at løbe så tæt på andre på så lidt plads.

Mia: Så du nøjes med at kigge på? Jeg tror, der er mange på festivalen, der har det på samme måde.

Sofia: Jeg vil hellere deltage i et af de mange kvindeløb senere i år.

Mia: Hvordan foregår det? Jeg overvejer at deltage i ét.

Sofia: Du kan tilmelde dig på nettet. Du får både et nummer og en goodie bag. Nogle gader bliver også afspærret.

Mia: Så der er plads nok at løbe på? Jeg har hørt, at det næsten er umuligt at overhale andre.

Sofia: Nogle tager det meget seriøst og råber ad andre, så de flytter sig for dem.

Mia: Det lyder en smule uretfærdigt. Det burde være lige fair for alle.

Sofia: Ja, men andre deltagere bliver åbenbart irrelevante for den type løbere.

Mia: Det virker også lidt asocialt. Jeg kunne forestille mig, at mange også gør det for hyggens skyld.

Sofia: Især efter løbet når alle får kage. Desværre får din bror kun ildelugtende mudder i dag.

----Formal English----

Sophia: The track is horrible with all that mud! Surely, it'll be a fun race this year.

Mia: Shouldn't you be participating in the race like my brother?

Sophia: No, I think it must be awful to run so close to others in such little space.

Mia: So you'll settle for watching? I think there are many at the festival who feel the same way.

Sophia: I'd rather participate in one of the many women's races later this year.

Mia: How does it work? I'm considering participating in one.

Sophia: You can sign up online. You get both a number and a goodie bag. Some streets will also be blocked.

Mia: So there's space enough to run? I've heard that it's almost impossible to overtake others.

Sophia: Some take it more seriously and yell at others so they'll move for them.

Mia: That sounds a bit unfair. It should be equally fair for everyone.

Sophia: Yes, but apparently other participants become irrelevant to that type of runner.

Mia: It also seems a little antisocial. I could imagine that many also do it just for fun.

Sophia: Especially after the race, when everyone gets cake. Unfortunately, your brother will only get smelly mud today.
