Halloween, celebrated every October 31st, is known for costumes, candy, and spooky tales. Its origins, however, trace back over 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Marking the end of summer and the beginning of winter, Samhain was believed to be a time when the boundaries between the living and the dead blurred, allowing spirits to roam the Earth.

To ward off these spirits, Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes. With time, Christian traditions overlapped with Samhain, leading to All Hallows' Eve, the night before All Saints' Day. From these roots, modern Halloween emerged, becoming a festive occasion filled with fun, frights, and treats.
