A little history of this awesome holiday!
All Hallows' Eve, now widely known as Halloween, has roots tracing back over 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Celebrated on October 31, Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. During Samhain, Celts believed that the boundary between the living and the spirit world blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth. People lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off any malevolent spirits.
When Christianity spread through Celtic lands, the Church sought to replace pagan customs with Christian ones. In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III moved All Saints' Day to November 1 to honor saints and martyrs, making October 31 the eve of All Hallows, or All Hallows' Eve. Gradually, All Hallows' Eve incorporated both Christian and folk traditions, creating a mix of supernatural beliefs and festivities.
In the 19th century, Halloween found its way to North America through Irish and Scottish immigrants, who brought customs like dressing in costumes and carving turnips or pumpkins. Over time, Halloween transformed into a community-centered holiday focused on activities like trick-or-treating, parties, and spooky decorations, becoming a celebration of both playful and eerie themes.
