This is something I did last year, but since I'd never submited it and I didn't have time to make something new this year, I decided to post this now.

"Any one can be good in the country." O. Wilde

All Hallows or as we sometimes call it, Samhain, has a rich history as you pointed out:
Samhain (pronounced /ˈsˠaunʲ/ from the Old Irish samain) is the word for November in the Gaelic languages. The Scottish Gaelic spelling is Samhainn or Samhuinn (for the feast), or an t-Samhain (for the month). The Festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is generally regarded as 'The Celtic New Year'.[1][2][3]

The same word was used for a month in the ancient Celtic calendar, in particular the first three nights of this month, with the festival marking the end of the summer season and the end of the harvest. A modernized version of this festival continues today in some of the traditions of the Catholic All Souls' Day, the secular Halloween, and in folk practices of Samhain itself in the Celtic Nations and the Irish and Scottish diasporas. It is also observed by various types of Neopagans.

Clara said to check out your stuff - you are really good. I love your ideas and interpretation of All Hallows above, it is tone rich and quite respectful.
Good luck,
