But where did this captivating celebration originate, and how did it evolve into the festive phenomenon we know and love today?

A Journey Through Time: The History of Halloween

To understand the magic of Halloween, we must delve into its rich history. Originally, Halloween’s roots can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. This significant festival marked the end of summer and the harvest, while also acknowledging the transition into the darker, colder months. Celts believed that on this night, the veil between the living and the dead thinned, allowing spirits to roam the earth. Consequently, they built bonfires and wore costumes to ward off evil spirits.

Over time, Samhain evolved and merged with other influences. As Christianity spread, the church designated November 1st as All Saints’ Day (or All Hallows’ Day), and the evening before became known as All Hallows’ Eve, eventually transforming into the Halloween we celebrate today.
