Oh, I definitely know about "All Saints Day," I just didn't know that much about the pagan end of it. Sounds a lot like what happened with Christmas then (a counter to pagan rituals).

Exactly! :) Christmas used to be a pagan holiday called "Saturnalia" until Constantine came along. The early Church was smart enough to realize that if you took the pagans' feasts and revels away from them, they wouldn't want to convert. So, the holidays were adapted. :)
