The History of Halloween: A Celebration of Life and Death

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 believed that on this day, spirits of the dead would return to the world of the living, and they would leave food and drink offerings for them. This tradition was later adopted by the Roman Empire and spread throughout Europe, eventually evolving into the modern-day celebration we know today.
