The History of Halloween
Halloween has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.
Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.
Trick or Treat
Trick or treat is a Halloween tradition where children dress up in costumes and go door to door asking for candy. The phrase "trick or treat" was first used in America in the 1920s, but the tradition dates back to the Middle Ages. In medieval times, poor people would go door to door asking for food or money in exchange for prayers for the dead. This practice was called "souling."
Today, trick or treating is a fun way for children to celebrate Halloween and collect candy from their neighbors.
The Importance of Costumes
Costumes are an important part of Halloween. They allow people to become someone or something else for a night. The tradition of wearing costumes dates back to the ancient Celts who would dress up in animal skins and masks to scare off evil spirits.
Today, costumes range from classic Halloween characters like witches and ghosts to pop culture icons like superheroes and movie characters.
