The history of Halloween

Halloween has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated on November 1st.

The Celts believed that on this day, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. As a result, they celebrated with bonfires, costumes, and feasts.

When the Romans conquered the Celts, they adopted some of their customs, including the celebration of Samhain.

Over time, Samhain evolved into the holiday we know today as Halloween.
