2. What is halloween
Halloween celebrates a
lot of things, including the
lives of people who aren't
with us anymore.
3. The history of halloween
THE history of Halloween is not
entirely a clear one. Here's
how (we think) it started:
Many hundreds of years ago, a
people called the Celts lived in
Europe and on the British
Isles. The Celts believed that
the souls of the dead visited
Earth on the last day of
October. They had a festival in
honor of these souls of the
dead, and they called it
Samhain.
4. THE ALL SAINT DAY
The Catholic Church
celebrated on November 1
was called Allhallowmas.
This meant "mass of all the
hallowed [saintly people.]" It
was commonly called "All
Hallows' Day."
5. -When do we celebrate

6. TRICK OR TREAT
Children of all ages dress up in
costumes and travel from house to
house to receive treats in response to
their call of “trick or treat!"
The phrase is a subtle suggestion that
if a treat (like candy ) is given, then
the child will not perform a “trick" (
mischief ) on the owner of the house.
