Halloween HistoryHalloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve, is widely recognized for its association with numerous customs, such as dressing up in costumes, carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and indulging in scary stories and films. These practices have historical connections to ancient Pagan and Christian traditions and are believed to serve as a way to ward off evil spirits, mark the end of the harvest season, and remember the dead. The origins of Halloween can be traced back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. During this time, it was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead narrowed, allowing spirits to roam the earth more freely. This notion was later incorporated into early Christian observances, giving birth to All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. Immigrants from Ireland and Scotland helped popularize Halloween in the United States in the 19th century by bringing their customs and traditions with them. In the United States today, Halloween is primarily observed through various activities that have become commercialized and transformed into a secular celebration. The most common ways Americans mark the occasion are by dressing up in costumes, attending parties, visiting haunted attractions, and going door-to-door to collect candy from neighbors. These practices represent a blend of ancient and modern customs and highlight the cultural significance of the holiday in America. Halloween occurs annually on October 31st. Halloween facts
