The History Of Halloween

In class we were asked to blog about the history of halloween and according to history.com, Is 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. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, so therefore "trick or treat". They warded the spirits away by having a celebration. During this celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal hides, and attempted to tell each other's futures. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

And Therefore Halloween.
