Halloween fact
The origins of Halloween traditions can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain celebrated in Great Britain around 2000 years ago. On October 31, the Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead became thin, allowing spirits to cross over. To celebrate the new year and ward off spirits, Druids built bonfires and people dressed in animal skins to make sacrifices. When the Romans conquered the Celts, their traditions blended with the Celtic celebration. In the 7th century, the Catholic Church designated November 1 as All Saints' Day, and Samhain became known as All Hallow's Eve, eventually Halloween.
