The origin of Halloween

Although there are many versions of the origin and old customs of Halloween, some of them are still consistent. Different cultures have different views on Halloween, but the traditional Halloween customs are the same.

Halloween culture can be traced back to Druidism, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. The root cause lies in Samhain Festival on1October 36 every year, which is to commemorate the dead.

Samhain symbolizes "late summer" or November. Samhain is a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and the beginning of a new year. Many practices in this celebration are based on superstition.

The Celts believed that the souls of the dead would haunt the streets and villages at night. Because not all souls are considered friendly, gifts and hospitality are left to appease evil and ensure a bumper harvest in the coming year. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

How did Halloween begin?

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts, who lived in western and central Europe a long time ago. Celts celebrate festivals.

Y called Sa amhain at1October 3 1. After sunset that day, people believed that the souls of the dead would come back to life and walk on the earth. The Celts provided food and drinks to drive away ghosts.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain Festival with Halloween in 835, which is a festival to commemorate church saints. Halloween is1October 3 1. The church calls it Halloween or Halloween.

How did Halloween come to America?

Halloween first came to the United States with early immigrants, who came from Celtic areas of Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland.

In the1800s, the arrival of many Irish immigrants helped spread the popularity of Halloween.
