The History of Halloween

Halloween festival is celebrated on 31st October which is the last day of the Celtic calendar. Originally it was a pagan holiday meant to honor the dead. Halloween dates back 2000 years ago and was known as All Hallows Eve.

All Hallows Eve is the evening before All Saints Day, which was created by Christians to convert pagans, and is celebrated on November 1st. The Catholic Church honored saints on this designated day.

The culture of Halloween can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland in Britain and also Northern Europe. In order to honor the dead the feast of Samhain was conducted on 31st October. Samhain indicates end of summer or November starting. Samhain was also a harvest festival that marked the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.

The Celts were having the belief that the souls of the dead wandered around the streets and villages at night. Since all spirits are not good they left gifts and treats to pacify evil spirits so that the next year’s crop output is plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.
