Halloween

Halloween, celebrated on October 31st, is a holiday with origins dating back over 2,000 years. Its roots lie in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Over time, it incorporated elements from Christian traditions and folk customs. Today, Halloween has become a festive occasion celebrated by many countries around the world. It is characterized by activities like dressing up in costumes, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, and going door-to-door for trick-or-treating. It is believed that wearing costumes originated from the ancient practice of disguising oneself to confuse and ward off evil spirits. Additionally, the tradition of trick-or-treating is rooted in the medieval custom of offering prayers and songs on behalf of the deceased in exchange for food. Nowadays, Halloween serves as a time for people to express creativity, embrace spooky fun, and indulge in sweet treats.
