Pope Gregory was born as Hildebrand in 1025‚ to an upper class family in southern Tuscany. He adopted the name Gregory in memory of Gregory I after his election as pope in 1073.

Although Halloween began as a tribute to the dead‚ it has transformed drastically over the years. It has completely changed since it originated‚ from a Pagan holiday adapted by Christians to a consumer oriented celebration.
