History of Halloween

The origin of Halloween, an annual tradition that falls on October 31, can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.
Samhain is a pagan religious festival celebrated by ancient Celts to signify the end of summer and the harvest, and beginning of winter.
During the Samhaim festival, people lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts. Over the decades, Halloween became a tradition of sweet treats,
pumpkin carving, festivals, creative costumes, and much more!
