Halloween has been celebrated for centuries and has evolved into the modern holiday we know and love today. Let’s take a deeper look into the history of Halloween and some ideas for celebrating this year.

The Origins of Halloween

While Halloween may be associated with pumpkin carvings and trick-or-treating in modern times, its origins can be traced back to an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain. On this day, people believed that the boundary between the world of the living and the dead was blurred, and spirits were able to roam freely. To commemorate the occasion, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off these spirits.

As the holiday spread to other parts of the world, traditions from different cultures fused together, creating the modern holiday we know today.
