What is Halloween?
Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and
Halloween 2020 will occur on Saturday, October 31.
The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain,
when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.
In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1st as a
time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the
traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve,
and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of
activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive
gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.
