The History of Halloween: A Spooky Celebration

Halloween, celebrated on October 31st every year, has a rich history that dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. This festival marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, which was believed to be a time when the veil between the living and the dead became thin.

The Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off any malevolent spirits that might be roaming the streets. The Roman Empire later adopted this festival and merged it with their own festivals, creating a unique blend of traditions.

As Christianity spread throughout Europe, the early Christian church tried to eliminate these pagan practices. However, the tradition continued in some form, and eventually evolved into the modern-day celebration we know today.
