What is the origin of Halloween?

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

 

 

How did Halloween get global?

The celebration of Halloween Day has been confined to the region for centuries and has not existed elsewhere in the world. But with the influence of the American colonists, the custom reached other countries, especially North America. Widespread immigration of Irish and Scots to the United States also led to the spread of the Halloween celebration. Today, Halloween is no longer a religious affair and is celebrated in many countries, including Japan and China. There are a variety of exciting activities at the celebration, including the most famous of which is Trick-or-Treat, which is equivalent to the scoop in our culture.
