It is thought that Halloween has its roots in Celtic Paganism, although the church claims that the ancient Pagan rituals have no basis in All Hallows Eve, the night before All Hallows Day, also known as All Saints Day, or officially in the Roman Catholic Church known as Solemnity of All Saints. The tradition “holiday” if you will that Celts celebrated was called Samhain, which roughly translates to “the end of summer”. For the Celts and other ancient Pagan religions, Halloween was a time festive joy celebrating the harvest at the end of the summer season. A successful harvest for ancient agrarian culture meant that another cold, dark winter could be survived due to the fact that they would have grain stores to feed themselves and their animals through the winter.

The origin of Halloween dates back to the Celtic festival of Samhain. On October 31st, the Celtics marked the end of their calendar year by building large, sacred bonfires, wearing costumes, and telling each other’s fortunes. They believed that on this day, the boundary between life and death became blurred and the ghosts of the dead returned to earth to damage crops and cause trouble.
