    Halloween, celebrated on October 31st, is a holiday rich in

    history and tradition. Originating from the ancient Celtic


    festival of Samhain, it marked the end of the harvest
    season and the beginning of winter. Celts believed that on
    this night, the boundary between the living and the dead
    blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth. To ward off
    these spirits, people lit bonfires and wore costumes.

    Today, Halloween is a festive occasion characterized by


    activities such as trick-or-treating, costume parties, and
    pumpkin carving. Children and adults alike dress up in
    various costumes, ranging from spooky to whimsical.
    Houses are often decorated with eerie themes, and
    communities come together to celebrate.

    The holiday has also become a significant cultural event,


    influencing movies, literature, and art. Despite its ancient
    origins, Halloween continues to evolve, blending old
    traditions with new customs, making it a unique and
    enduring celebration.
