The History of Halloween: A Celebration of Life and Death

Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve, has a rich history dating back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. This festival marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, which was believed to be a time when the veil between the living and the dead became thin.

The Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off any malevolent spirits that might be roaming the earth. When the Roman Empire conquered the Celts, they merged their own festivals with the Celtic traditions, creating a unique blend of cultures.

As Christianity spread throughout Europe, the early Christian church tried to eliminate the pagan practices associated with Samhain. In the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1st as All Saints' Day, and the evening before became known as All Hallows' Eve, later shortened to Halloween.
