The Origins of Halloween
Halloween has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. On October 31st, the Celts believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to return to the earth. On this night, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to welcome the returning souls.
Over time, Halloween gradually merged with Christian traditions, evolving into the celebration we know today. In the 19th century, Halloween gained popularity in the United States, becoming a time for family gatherings and the fun tradition of "trick-or-treating."
This holiday not only brings people together but also provides an opportunity to reflect on cultural traditions and the passing down of history. Customs such as carving jack-o'-lanterns and dressing up are tributes to ancient beliefs, transformed into modern celebrations.
