Halloween
Halloween is a complicated mix of traditions. Its traditions reach back to Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival during which people lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts.
Another big influence is All Hallows Eve, the evening before All Saints Day (a day to honor all saints, set as November 1 in the eighth century by Pope Gregory I), which was later called Halloween. Over time the evening became a day filled with trick-or-treating, carving jack-o’ lanterns, eating treats and wearing costumes.
