Hallows: sb (substantive) First entry, usually in plural hallows:
1. A holy personage, a saint (Little used after 1500, and now 
preserved only in All-Hallows and its combinations.
2. In plural applied to the shrines or relics of saints; the gods of 
the heathen or their shrines.

Hallow- = All Saints'-, in Hallow-day, Hallow-e'en,Hallowmas, Hallow-
tide; also hallow-fair, a fair or market held at Hallowmas; hallow-
fire, a bonfire kindled on All-hallow-e'en, an ancient Celtic 
observance.

Hallow itself, in the singular, has other meanings, including to make 
holy, to keep (a day or festival) holy, to chase or pursue with 
shouts, and the parts of the hare given to hounds after a successful 
chase.
the derivation of hallow is OE, OHG, nad ON, so Old English, Old High 
German, and Old Norse.

My OED is the two-volume one, from 1979.
 
I find the third definition of Hallow interesting, chiefly for its 
note of usage in Scotland. The date of All-hallows is November 1.
