Halloween is a holiday observed every year on October 31st. The custom dates back to the ancient Celtic celebration of Samhain when people lit bonfires and dressed up in costumes to fend off ghosts. It begins a fresh season by marking the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints, or All Hallows. In most regions of Europe and North America, Halloween is predominantly a secular holiday.

Halloween History and Origins

In the ninth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a day to honour all saints. Samhain's customs were soon absorbed into All Saints Day. The night before was All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Halloween has become synonymous with trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, celebratory parties, donning costumes, and eating candy. Halloween's origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, marked the beginning of their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and harvest, as well as the beginning of the gloomy, icy winter, which was associated with human death in the past. Celts believed that the border between the living and the dead blurred the night before New Year's Day. On October 31st, they commemorated Samhain, the day when it was believed that the spirits of the dead returned to earth.
