#halloween is an annual celebration with roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was observed in Europe. The Celts believed this time of year marked the transition between summer and winter, when spirits could return to Earth. People wore simple costumes and lit bonfires to ward off evil spirits.
Over time, Christianity adopted some of Samhain’s traditions, turning October 31st into “All Hallows’ Eve,” or Halloween. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Halloween spread to the United States, gaining a more playful character. Children began dressing in costumes, and the tradition of “trick-or-treating” emerged during this period. Carved pumpkins (Jack-o’-Lanterns) replaced turnips as a symbol of the celebration.
Today, Halloween is a global event known for elaborate costumes, spooky parties, and haunted houses.
