Halloween, originated in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter in Ireland and Britain.
The Celts believed that on the night of October 31, the spirits of the deceased returned to the world of the living. To ward off the spirits, they lit bonfires and dressed in animal skins.
With the spread of Christianity, the festival adapted to All Saints’ Day on November 1. Over time, Halloween merged with American influences, becoming a celebration characterized by costumes, sweets, and activities related to the supernatural.
