History of Halloween

The Halloween costumes, we celebrate each October 31st, began long ago. They come from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celtic people lived about 2000 years ago in an area which we now call Ireland, the United Kingdom and France. The festival of Samhain marked the end of summer, the harvest season and the beginning of their new year. The Celtic people believed that on the night of the October 31st, the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. They built huge bonfires and dressed in costumes to frighten the ghosts. The Celtic also offered the ghosts good things to eat.
