Halloween



 Halloween, a holiday many of us know and love. A day when we celebrate together with our friends, family, neighbors and community We go from door to door collecting candy, sweets and much more, racing on who can approach the most houses or who can collect the most candy in the group. It is all fun and games when trick or treating, and it has evolved into so much more than from the past. As years pass by, we celebrate this holiday annually, but of everything we’ve taken in from being children through our teen and adult years It is celebrated mostly in the U.S., Canada, and European countries. it is a religious festival Halloween originates from “All Hallows’ Eve,” signifying the evening before All Saints’ or All Hallows’ Day. Its origins trace back to the ancient festival Samhain. The Celts celebrated Samhain on the night of Oct 31. They celebrated New Year’s Eve on Nov 1 and believed that the souls and spirits of dead people return to the real world during the last night of every year. They also believed that setting bonfires and disguising themselves as witches and demons saved them from evil spirits.
