The Origin of Halloween: A Blend of Ancient Traditions
So, where does Halloween come from? The origins of this celebration go way back and are tied to Celtic traditions. Originally, Halloween was known as “Samhain”, a festival that marked the end of summer and the start of winter. The Celts believed that on this night, the boundary between the living and the dead faded, allowing spirits to return to the earth.
Over the centuries, the traditions of Samhain blended with the Christian celebration of All Saints’ Day, leading to what we now know as Halloween. The party was brought to America by Irish immigrants in the 19th century and has since spread all around the globe.
