History of Halloween

Halloween was thought to have started with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. During those times, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to get rid of lost souls. In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III designated the 1st of November as a day to honor all saints and martyrs. Since then, the day has been called All Saint’s Day. The eve before November 1 was called All Hallow’s Eve and eventually named Halloween. Over the years, the holiday became a celebration for the whole community where kid-friendly activities were organized. 

How Halloween is celebrated

Houses and other establishments were designed not only to scare people. They were decorated to entertain, thrill, and astonish viewers. These days, Halloween decorations are displayed to let people feel the spirit of the holiday. In many instances, decorations may appear scary, but there are those that are funny and cute. Just like in many holidays, families prepare food, decorate their interior and exterior, and buy candies for kids for their trick or treat activities.
