The History of Halloween
Halloween gets it start by Celtic festival known as Samhain. The celebration of Samhain is at the end of the harvest Season. Its also known as the Celtic-New year. The festival was calibrated on October 31st. The Celts believed that October 31st was the boundary the living and the deceased dissolved and the dead became dangerous for the living by causing problems like sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would include having bonfires into which the bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown in. Costumes and masks were worn to attempt to copy evil spirits.
On Halloween or All Hollows Eve Celtics would but a skeleton in front of their window still to represent the departed. Lanterns were in northern Europe were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga.
Halloween Now:
Well Halloween is most cases is not a festival but a holiday in most country's. Now a days kids or some adults go out Trick or Treating for candy every October 31st. Halloween is one of the largest holidays next to Christmas. During the month of October Haunted houses going on and costumes and Halloween props being sold trough out the country
