this is BS. Martin Luther hammered his 95 Theses on October 31st 1517 which is Reformation Day and All Saints Day is on November 1st. Halloween didn't exist before 1517.

The feast of All Saints, on its current date, is traced to the foundation by Pope Gregory III (731–741) of an oratory in St. Peter's for the relics "of the holy apostles and of all saints, martyrs and confessors, of all the just made perfect who are at rest throughout the world",[10] with the day moved to 1 November and the 13 May feast suppressed

Well the Pagans had Satarnalia so the Christians started Christmas. The pagans had Ostara so the Christians started Easter.

Technically wrong. The early church adopted Christmas and Easter on the same days as pagan celebrations in order to convert them and eliinate the pagan celebrations altogether, not merely overshadow them.
